Lyrics & Music by:  Ian McLeish
 

1.
The clouds, they break - I see the sky -
A warm wind blows, I know that I
Am smiling more than I did yesterday;
The nightmares all have disappeared -
Feel better than I've felt for years -
"It's time to heal" is all that I can say;
Getting back together was like finding paradise -
I never thought I'd hold you once again;
Old souls, come whatever, locked into each other's eyes -
Searching for the passion through the pain...

Chorus 1.
Letting you go again -
Loving you so - but then:
This happened once before and I know how to say goodbye -
I guess I never thought I'd have to try.

2.
Like the burning embers of a fire
Portrait in ash, all spent desire -
A love can flame and then turn oh, so cold;
I thought that second time around
We'd have it all, we'd be profound -
We'd show the world by being oh, so bold -
But like a chorus fading out on late-night radio -
You wish that they would play that song again;
When lover's spells are broken, what is gone cannot be whole -
I wish I really knew just who to blame...

Chorus 2.
Letting you go again -
Wondering where it ends -
If we love each other still - how can we say goodbye?
I guess it's just that we don't want to try -
Letting you go again...
