Let Him Fly

Let Him Fly - Patty Griffin Lyrics

Ain't no talking to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand
The stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat
And I already tried all that so
I'm gonna let him flyThings can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly
There's no mercy in the live wire, no rest at all in freedom
Of the choices we are given it's no choice at all
The proof's in the fire you touch before it moves away
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talking to this man
He's been tryin to tell me so
It took awhile to understand
The beauty of just letting go
'Cause it would take an acrobat
I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly
I'm gonna let him fly
