Oh, you are letting me go, letting me go
Oh, you are holding my heart, holding my heart
I try my best with smoke and mirrors
I try my best with crocodile tears
It's hard to forget where we started from
Over the back rows on into the sun

Oh, you are letting me go, letting me go
Oh, you are holding my heart, still holding my heart
Remember when we used to waltz in the grass
Crickets chirping, wet feet, we dance
Night in the parlor, laughing too loud
While you're in the backyard drawing a crowd

Oh, you are letting me go, letting me go
Oh, you are holding my heart, holding my heart
Take your son to the ravine
Showing moths, and frogs in the stream
And I'll slip back out the way I came
No one's the wiser, I'll be the same
