A song for letting go.

lyrics

COMPANY YOU KEEP

If you’ve got a bleeding heart don’t you patch it up
If there’s tears in your eyes, better let them flow
Because the mind only wants what the heart can know
What only the heart can know

Did the sky turn as grey as your last goodbye?
And the bird that you kept, had to let it fly?
As it climbed with its wings, way up towards the sky
Your heart did fall

Tell me are you lonesome? Tell me was she kind?
Are you at home and feeling lonesome without the one who eased your mind?

Is there an empty space where a light should be?
Are you losing your feet, tripping over everyday things?
And the thoughts in your mind aren’t the company you should keep
If you want some sleep

Tell me are you lonesome? Tell me was she kind?
Are you at home and feeling lonesome without the one who eased your mind?
