Let Her Go

Intro

Mm-mm

Yeah

Verse 1

Walked the riverbank at dusk

Footsteps tangled in the dust

She was waiting where the water bends

Said love was war that never ends

I gave everything I had

She took the good and kept the bad

Now the current pulls me down

Pale moon watching from the crown

Pre-Chorus

And the water

And the water keeps on running

Like the tears I keep on hiding

Like the truth I keep denying

Chorus

Down along the river road

Where the heavy currents flowed

I let her go I let her go

Down where the willows bend and bow

I don't know where I am now

I let her go I let her go

Verse 2

Summer birds began to sing

Made the whole world seem like spring

But every note was laced with pain

Echoes falling like the rain

I stood frozen by the stream

Caught between a truth and dream

She was gone before I knew

The way the river washed the blue

Pre-Chorus

And the water

And the water keeps on running

Like the tears I keep on hiding

Like the truth I keep denying

Chorus

Down along the river road

Where the heavy currents flowed

I let her go I let her go

Down where the willows bend and bow

I don't know where I am now

I let her go I let her go

Bridge

Cross my heart I never crossed

Every memory counting cost

Running water running deep

Promises I couldn't keep

Cross my heart I never crossed

Every memory counting cost

Breakdown

River take me river take me

River take me far away

River take me river take me

I got nothing left to say

Chorus

Down along the river road

Where the heavy currents flowed

I let her go I let her go

Down where the willows bend and bow

I don't know where I am now

I let her go I let her go

Outro

Mm-mm

Let her go

Mm-mm
