A Song Fading Away

And the blue sky says, ‘let it go, let it go’,

Dust has settled everywhere, tears are kind to wash it away,

What’s a little sorrow if it cleans the heart?

What’s a slight disillusion if it lights the dark?

What’s safe and what’s not, can you tell?

Let it go, let it go, let it all go away, far, far away,

Where the blue sky will swallow it forever,

Like a dream melting into the reality of waking,

A song fading away on unpracticed lips.
