August flowers, magic powers
Dreaming from your silver tower
Hair in the sky, the whole world standing by
Give me wings, I could fly

Late one night, I jumped a church fence
Hoping God would come to my defense
But in the morning I woke up in a bloody bed
With a cut in my side

I saw Jesus in the hospital
I said man, you must have seen it all
He just cried

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

You've held on for so long, too long
Let it go

It was time to unplug the city
So I drove the moonlit highway
Another ghost in the fog
Feeling lonely

Bars, baseball bats and fools
Unaware of acting so cruel
What would you have won,
When all your fighting was done?

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, oh let it go

You've held on for so long, too long
Let it go
