Lyrics

[03:04.63][00:00.00] patty griffin - let him fly
[03:06.90][00:06.00]
[00:17.76] ain't no talkin to this man
[00:22.24] ain't no pretty other side
[00:26.27] ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
[00:34.62] it would take an acrobat, and i already tried all that so
[00:42.40] i'm gonna let him fly
[00:51.65] things can move at such a pace
[00:56.22] the second hand just waved goodbye
[01:00.61] you know the light has left his face
[01:04.37] but you can't recall just where or why
[01:09.16] so there was really nothing to it
[01:12.83] i just went and cut right through it
[01:16.62] i said i'm gonna let him fly
[01:26.40] there's no mercy in a live wire
[01:30.98] no rest at all in freedom
[01:35.68] of the choices we are given it's no choice at all
[01:44.08] the proof is in the fire
[01:48.33] you touch before it moves away
[01:58.20] but you must always know how long to stay and when to go
[02:06.10] and there ain't no talkin to this man
[02:10.71] he's been tryin to tell me so
[02:14.79] it took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
[02:23.47] cause it would take an acrobat
[02:27.85] i already tried all that
[02:31.69] i'm gonna let him fly
[02:39.68] i'm gonna let him fly
[02:57.78][02:48.07] i'm gonna let him fly
[00:00.05]
