Days go by and I'm trying to let you go
Night bears down and I'm trying to let you go
These seasons change and the ground will turn to snow
New blood, old heart still trying to let you go

Time creeps by while I'm trying to let you go
This wind blows wild and I'm trying to let you go
Rivers run and the Mississippi flows
My heart's on fire, still trying to let you go

Years I've spent still trying to let you go
Places I've been just trying to let you go
Them bells will ring and the tears will start to flow
They'll bury me still trying to let you go
