Let Me Go

(álbum: Brave And Crazy - 1989)

Am I the snake inside your garden?
The sugar in your tea?
The knock upon your back door?
The twist that turns your key?
Am I the sweat you feel on your hand?
The shadow on your face?
The tune inside your head
That put you here in the first place?

Well, I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be your sweet temptation
I don't want to be your new sensation
It's such a delicate distraction
With just a hint of satisfaction
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me, then let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Oh

Do you try to stay suspended
In your deepest fantasy?
After night has ended
The scent of mystery
The power of suggestion
Tangles up your soul
A neutral state between love and hate
Is bound to take its toll

Well, I don't think you know
I don't think you know
I don't think you know about the screaming
You don't understand the meaning
You could trade it in for laughter
To keep your happy ever after
Look me in the eye, then let me know
If you can't love me then let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Oh

Baby in your ivory tower
Do you sleep tight, dream fight?
Baby, does it whet your appetite?
Maybe in your darkest hour
Am I the keeper of your beast?

Well, I don't want to be
I don't want to be
So let me go
Let me go
Mm
