Time To Let Go - ListenHere
A gift from a boyfriend she’s long since forgotten
The flowers are gone, but there’s still a guitar
He once gave her a promise to show her some chords
And sing a few songs about love though the rest of the
Story is dusty, outside of the memories she carries like loose change
Dumped into a dish on top of her dresser, some nickels and dimes,
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the good times,
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the good times,
but sometimes it’s time to let go.
She can’t quite remember why she carries her memories
Why she buries her future in her very own dreams
Something ‘bout teachers and tattoos and poetry
and a renaissance minstrel tuning up a guitar
And she’s driving the distance waiting for openings
‘cause most conversations must take their own time
she’s driving to L.A. so she can get away
From all of the loose change that spilled to the floor
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the good times,
but sometimes it’s time to let go.
One day she’ll remember the stories and laughter
About all the kids she helped back to Ithaca
With a hatchet, some glues sticks, and a little sabroso,
They fought, but they listened and discovered themselves
Somewhere between being lost in the forest
No fire, no food, just a twenty dollar bill,
Somewhere in between all the books and Debris
she helped old Ulysses get home from the sea.
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the good times,
but sometimes it’s time to let go.
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the good times,
but sometimes it’s time to let go.
Circe will tell you, then the mighty Calypso,.
Sometimes it’s time to let go.
Sometimes it’s time to let go.
