Lyrics
"Never Letting Go"
©2014 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
In the dawning of the sun, there's a road I've got to run.
I don't know, yet, where it goes; all I know is that I know.
And what you've told me, if it's true,
Is all I know I know of you,
So,
With the information here, I must try to find an answer.
With the medicines I fear, I must try to cure this cancer.
With the skies above so clear, I must try to hear the thunder
Roll.
PRECHORUS I
Lightning goes from ground to heaven,
Who does it meet halfway?
VERSE II
In the falling of the leaves, at the gravestone knelt to grieve
Teardrops falling from my eyes, all I cry is all I cry.
Water freezes as it falls, soon my tears aren't tears at all:
Snow.
I read your name in granite, carved,
But I cannot believe it's you there.
I knew losing would be hard, but I cannot believe it's over.
I thought we had come so far, I could not believe you'd ever
Go.
PRECHORUS II
Frightening ghosts from 'round your headstone,
How could you leave me this way?
CHORUS
No--
I am never letting you
Go--
Into the night.
As I cry this, I fight. This
Is real, I deny. This
I know: I am never letting you go.
VERSE III
In the wake of mortal life, all the pieces left behind.
Turned in turbulence they spin, caught like butterflies and then
Memory freezes as it fails. What was true's not true until
Broke.
Kept a chronicle hard-bound, turning pages make your sound
Everything that was your mind, all the pieces left behind:
How you fought you, how you fell, and how you failed to save yourself,
Wrote.
~ PRECHORUS II ~ CHORUS ~
