Over the Rhine - I Let It Go lyrics

I wanted to sing you a song This gift I was given has all come out wrong I wanted to give you so much I came all this way just to hand you a broken crutch I let it go This life I know Seeds that we sow May come to dust I let it go One thing I know What's real will grow Inside of us I wanted to lay by your side Take this small world and open it wide I wanted to write it all down Your skin was the paper your pages unbound Lonely is just how I feel Alone in the world and the world's a wheel Spinning these thoughts in my head I tangle with you and we hang by a thread There may come a day when this dream dies Fair enough fair enough Until then we lay down our own lives Fair enough fair enough
