Learning to Let Go - Laf

I wear a coat of colours, many in its fold

I travel countless lands, their treasures I behold

I talk to strangers in a language they adore

I carry fortunes that I lay upon their door

When you need someone

When you have someone

When you leave someone

When you know someone

You’re only learning to let go

The painful silence is much more than I can take

The tortured soul within is shown upon your face

The air of tension is oppressive and unreal

The haunted features tell a tale you won’t reveal

When you love someone

When you need someone

When you have someone

When you know someone

You’re only learning to let go

Dance now with clogs upon my brow

When tomorrow comes you will see the past

Buried deep beneath the plough

Whenever birds fly south for wintertime

Then you will only find

Your summer’s here once more

Freedom floats on a thermal soaring skyward

Weightless then liberty will lead us onward

When you love someone

When you need someone

When you have someone

When you know someone

You’re only learning to let go

Sing now hold peace within your heart

When tomorrow comes you will see the truth

Buried deep within the earth

When birds fly home again from summertime

Then they will ever find

A nest is built on straw

Freedom floats on a thermal soaring skyward

Weightless as liberty will lead us onward

When you love someone

When you need someone

When you have someone

When you know someone

You’re only learning to let go
