Let Him Fly

Album: Patty Griffin Durasi: 3:13
[00:17.98]Ain't no talking to this man
[00:22.19]Ain't no pretty other side
[00:26.47]Ain't no way to understand
[00:29.31]The stupid words of pride
[00:34.94]It would take an acrobat
[00:37.72]And I already tried all that so
[00:42.62]I'm gonna let him fly
[00:48.19]Gonna let him fly
[00:52.00]Things can move at such a pace
[00:56.35]The second hand just waved goodbye
[01:00.95]You know the light has left his face
[01:03.65]But you can't recall just where or why
[01:09.66]So there was really nothing to it
[01:13.08]I just went and cut right through it
[01:17.02]I said I'm gonna let him fly
[01:22.43]Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:26.74]There's no mercy in a live wire
[01:31.19]No rest at all in freedom
[01:35.93]Choices we are given, it's no choice at all
[01:44.31]The proof's in the fire you touch before it moves away, yeah
[01:58.33]But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
[02:06.04]And there ain't no talking to this man
[02:11.08]He's been tryin' to tell me so
[02:15.07]It took awhile to understand
[02:19.46]The beauty of just letting go
[02:23.69]'Cause it would take an acrobat
[02:27.63]I already tried all that
[02:31.58]I'm gonna let him fly
[02:39.56]I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh
[02:47.96]I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh
[02:56.33]I'm gonna let him fly
