Over the Rhine Album: The Cutting Room Floor Track: I Let It Go
I Let It Go Lyrics
Words and music: Bergquist/Detweiler
I wanted to sing you a song This gift I was given has all come out wrong I wanted to give you so much I came all this way just to hand you a (broken) crutch
I let it go This life I know Seeds that we sow May come to dust
I let it go One thing I know What's real will grow Inside of us
I wanted to lay by your side Take this small world and open it wide I wanted to write it all down Your skin was the paper your pages unbound
Lonely is just how I feel Alone in the world and the world's a wheel Spinning these thoughts in my head I tangle with you and we hang by a thread
There may come a day when this dream dies Fair enough fair enough Until then we lay down our own lives Fair enough fair enough
