Let Me Let It Go

I was halfway through my time on this earth
When I got a strange feeling like I had at my birth
Surrounded by strangers, crying in some room
I felt myself at such a remove
And I loved them all, but I couldn’t say how
I just screamed a lot, and then I shut my mouth

Ah in 1282, I saw you in the square
You know I’d recognize you anywhere
We didn’t say much, we didn’t have to
I knew all my life that I’d be loving you
And you married young, I never saw you again
Not a day goes by I don’t think of it

Oh, let me, let it go
Let me let it die
And let me, lеt it rise
When you think it’s all gone
That’s whеn it has begun

Jesus came back like the prodigal son
He said: Hold up, wait up, what’s going on?
I never said nothing like that
But they weren’t convinced
And he said: I’ll be right back
We saw him cutting across the lawn
Then we ain’t seen him since

Outside the first circle are the ones who didn’t try
The first circle is where I’ve set my sights
Talking to the poets, telling them your name
They’ll laugh and say that I’ll never be the same
They’ll say: Let’s have a toast to the one above!
L-you-v we’re only talking about love

Oh, let me, let it go
Let me, let it die
And let me, let it rise
When you think it’s all gone
That’s when it has begun
