Anchor me to a lonely day
turn your back and I'll blow away.
What's it like to see me this way, from above and from below.
And set your hands upon my face
and fix me with an easy gaze.
It's hard for me to feel your embrace, but I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
And wrap your arms around my neck
and brace against the icy wind.
It's fillin' up my sails again, but I don't wanna go.
And hide with me in the crippled pines
and point above to the stars that shine.
I can't feel your arms in mine but I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
And out beyond the tangled trees
I can hear the heavy seas
singing out a melody from above and from below.
And the moon will creep across your face
and wake you from the lonely day.
Though I will not leave a trace
I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
Oh I'll know when you let go.
And though I will not leave a trace
I'll know when you let go.
