Far Country - Let You Go Lyrics
I watched you pull the thread that hung belowThe hem of everything you’d grown to knowYou pulled it with a sighSaid everything must dieI watched you pull the thread and let it goOur youth was spent desperate to seeThe things that lay just barely underneathThe layers of our mindsThat fall away in timeSo we filled our little brains and tried to seeI couldn’t tell you where we were trying to goSo I held your hand and figured that we’d knowWhen we’d arrivedAt our chosen timeI’d kiss your mouth, and I’d let you goYour voice was sweet and it didn’t betrayThe words you used when you said you couldn’t stayYou said life was just a gameThat could never stay the sameSo I lit a smoke and watched you drive awayI couldn’t tell you where we were trying to goSo I held your hand and figured that we’d knowWhen we’d arrivedAt our chosen timeI’d kiss your mouth, and I’d let you goAnd I held you in the back of my mindAs my body felt the wrath of father timeBut as I slowly decayYou’ll never age a dayCause I held you in the back of my mind
