lyrics
I have learned to love the buds before the bloom,
and the dried up petals after flowers fall.
I can smile at the dirt and the bare branches.
Loving you means to love it all.
I want to show you my smile in the Spring,
or my weakness when I hear train whistles sound.
To taste and smell with you all of the flavors,
or collapse with you calmly into the ground.
Loving you has shown me,
sometimes with such sadness to let go,
to let go.
Loving you has taught me,
perhaps it's madness to let go,
to let go.
There is no other route to travel,
no other way in a life to wander through.
As you fall asleep so far away,
all I can remember is the peace I felt with you.
The thing that I love most is the reason that you left.
It's in you, my dear, it's also in me:
The desire to stoke the fires of adventure,
and all I can do is sing sweetly.
Loving you has shown me,
sometimes with such sadness to let go,
to let go.
Loving you has taught me,
perhaps it's madness to let go,
to let go.
And maybe someday you'll come home.
