So love’s all we’ve got in this crazy big world, So don’t be letting go of it now, It’s all roller coasters and waiting in line, So don’t be letting go of it now, All they ever wanted was singing and softness, So don’t be letting go of it now, Start waving in the rain if you need a reminder, So don’t be letting go of it now, Cos love’s all we’ve got in this crazy big world, So don’t be letting go of it now,

And I’m alone inside my head, All those pretty things you said, They’ve been hanging on my mind, For sometime, And we’re all just lonely together, sometimes, And I’m alone upon the stairs, Why would you think that no-one cares? That’s been hanging in the air, To be fair, And we’re all just empty together, oh yeah, All those who see you, Would love to be you, So truly now, Let it go, Somehow, And I’m alone upon the beach, You’re not really out of reach, And you‘ve been hanging on my mind, For sometime, And we’re all just kooky together, this time, All those who see you, Would love to be you, So truly now, Let it go, Somehow, And I’m alone inside my head, All those stupid things I’ve said, They’ve been hanging on my mind, For sometime, And we’re all just crazy together, Sometimes, Sometimes, Sometimes,

Empty Trees 03:12
You’ve gotta hold on to that road, When your smile is just about broke, You’ve gotta take it on the chin, When your soul is just done in, And you can hear the empty trees just sighing now, Let it go somehow, You’ve gotta weave the smallest things, When you spread your broken wings, You’ve gotta open your weary heart, When your faded hope won’t start, And you can hear the empty trees just sighing now, Let it go somehow, Why should you keep your counsel, It’s all so circumstantial, Tell all the world that you’re okay, Hey hey hey hey, You’ve gotta breath the cleanest air, When your thoughts are going nowhere, You’ve gotta hold the hand of fate, When you carry such a weight, And you can hear the empty trees just sighing now, Let it go somehow,

You, You’re all I’ve got, You’re all I need, Don’t let me bleed tonight, We, Are all there is, Upon the Earth, For what it’s worth tonight, So learn to let it go, They, Are so opaque, They dress like snakes, Don’t let me shake tonight, So learn to let it go, So learn to let it go, You, You’re all I’ve got, You’re all I need, Don’t let me bleed tonight, So learn to let it go,
5.
And there’s a page, That you just can’t read, It’s in your face, You want to bleed out your soul, But there’s always a light in your sky, Let it shine tonight, Like a hopeful thing, Let it be your guide, You want to sing your heart out, And there’s always a light in your sky, Come down to all these places soon, It’s not like we’re living on the moon, Because there’s always a light in your sky, Let it shine today, Like a prophecy, We don’t have to pray, Let them go, you’ll see how to fly, Because there’s always a light in your sky, Because there’s always a light in your sky,

I tend to lean towards the weather, No course of action I can find, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, I tend to be beside myself now, I see some eyes but are they mine, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, And no-one can really ever let it go, And no-one can really ever say hello, hello, hello, I tend to hanker for the dreamland, So many places left to go, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, And no-one can really ever let it go, And no-one can really ever say hello, hello, hello, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind, When all you’ve gotta do is just be kind,
7.
And I hope you know where you’re going, And I hope you know where you’ve been, In the grand scheme of things, And I hope you’ve seen all the flowers, And I hope you stood in the stream, Of the grand scheme of things, Let all your worries fly away, Let all your mothers sing hey hey, And I hope you heard the foretelling, And I hope you did no such scene, In the grand scheme of things, And I hope you know where you’re going, And I hope you know where you’ve been, In the grand scheme of things, Let all your worries fly away, Let all your mothers sing hey hey, Let all your mothers fly away, Let all your worries sing hey hey,
8.
Distance is a failure when it comes to love, We’re all in this same boat, The stars up above, And everyone can see the same stars as me, Candid and truthful, There’s nowhere to run, If we stand alone, Still above is the sun, And everyone can see the same sun as me, There’s just this one rock, Will we be gone soon? Will others follow? Above them the moon, And everyone can see the same moon as me, And everyone can see the same stars as me,
9.
You can be lonely and you can be sad, These are the obvious things that we’ve had, Dress up the future in rags or in bows, Just where we are going oh nobody knows, Discard the meaningless treasures you’ve made, For those are the tarnished the rings that will fade, And it’s all okay now to never let go, Some feelings are precious and that’s all I know, You can be lonely and you can be sad, These are the wondrous thoughts that we’ve had,

The Third 01:03
In the reign of King Charles the Third, When everything was quite absurd, Like thinking that babies will never cry again, But there’s no milk and and honey for us, It’s all for them, In the reign of King Charles the Third, When everything was quite absurd, (Perhaps it’s time we let him go…)
