The Part Where You Let Go...

- I really like these lyrics. They're likely a conversation between two people (lovers?) but it could easily be a conversation between God and mortal man...

(as performed by Hem on "Home Again, Home Again")

When the rain breaks the road
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To your last good day?

When the stone breaks the wheel
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
Til the stone rolls away?

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go?
And tumbling out of a window
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you?

When the sun leaves the field
Are you holding on
Are you holding on
To the last sweet light?

When the flame leaves your eyes
I still see you there
I still see you there
On your darkest night.

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go?
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you now?

As your hand's breaking free
I am holding on
I am holding on
As you've held on to me

And I don't know
Is this the part where we let go?
Tumbling out of a window
Is this the part you're there for me?

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go?
And sinking under a shadow
Is this the part where you find out
I'm there for you?
You find out I'm there for you
You find out I'm there for you
