Fairport Convention - Let It Go lyrics

rate me

(Dave Swarbrick, Sandy Denny, Dave Pegg)

There's no excuse for torture, that you ought to know

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

Yonder stands a scarecrow, he's hollow in his robes

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

chorus:

The song was only in our time

They'll call it long, long ago

They'll say, "Ah well, it was their best"

Let it go, let it go

The master and the mistress a-trying hard to show

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

Now there is not time for shame or tears on a window pane

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

chorus

Eyes were made to smile and water

Tears were made to flow

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

There's a game that would have bought you

Were you ever set to throw

Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

chorus
