Album: The Speed of Grace

I Won't Let Go

(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
