Learning To Let Go

A song by Billy Gewin and Ana Pike about running out of time. Performed and recorded by Billy Gewin, with Adam Goodhue on drums. I've come to be like a shooting star Traveling fast, I'm a shortened spark I try to keep from words like ‘wronged’ and ‘cheated’ There are things we can do, you've a little time But you gotta make your way while the sun still shines In the twilight you will lie defeated Hard metal slowly turns to rust There’s only so much time to spare Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's all so unfair But I'm learning to let go Winning the battle, losing the war Slowly losing sight of what you're fighting for Slipping away a little at a time Wishing it could be like it was before But the light gets smaller through the closing door I'm Going down but it's an uphill climb Hard metal slowly turns to rust I thought I’d have more time to spare Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's all so unfair But I'm learning to let go I’ve made my peace with it I even gave it a name I’ve learned to live with a force That wouldn't be tamed Hard metal slowly turns to rust I'm all out of time to spare Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's all so unfair But I'm learning to let go Life is short you know There may be no tomorrow So live before it's over For Paula
