Letting Go
  JERRY BROWNING  

 BROKEN COMPASS   

 

Letting Go
 

it’s the last lonely night
an hour from dawn
i’ll never wait for you again
darkness strokes me on the hand
silence becomes my friend…
they tell me not to worry
you’ll get home alright
you’re gonna be
what you want to be

at first i wanted to fight
then pretend it wasn’t true
the harder i tried
to keep you mine
the more i disgusted you
and myself…
but i don’t feel defeated
love’s not a game

knew what i was doing
when i brought you here
like a sparrow with a broken wing
now it’s time for you to fly
and i won’t stand in your way

kiss the sky for me baby

Houston, Texas ‘83
