I Won't Let Go by Matraca Berg

(matraca berg/jim photoglo)

I hear an echo through the aching distance
I know your injured voice
You stand behind this wall of ice between us
I guess you had no choice

You had to save yourself, i understand
You're afraid to put your heart into my careless hands

Oh, they're so much stronger now
If you could find a way somehow to trust in me

I won't let go
I won't let go
If you're in need
Hold on to me
I won't let you go this time
This time

Sometimes a foolish heart will try to travel
Faster than the speed of grace
It's like we try to ride off into the sunset
And fall off into space

I realized what i had done
When i almost let you crash into the sun
You were only reaching out
I will never let you down that way again

I won't let go
I will not let go
If you're in need
Hold on to me
I won't let go
This time
