Let It Go

Mickey Newbury

Leave a candle burnin' ever low
Don't be moved by every wind that blows
Save your cryin' for the picture shows
And give your love to one you truly know

Yes I know it always hurts to say goodbye
So its all right now if you need to cry
Ummm, ummm, ummm
Then shake that rusty chain and let it go

Oh let it go now
Let it flow unchained
All your feelin' is a cleansin' rain
Ummm, ummm, ummm
Shake that rusty chain and let it go

There's a candle burning ever low
Don't be fooled by every wind that blows
Save your crying for the picture shows
Shake that rusty chain and let it go

You can make it day to day
You are broken only if you break
Save the good times throw the rest away
Shake that rusty chain and let it go

Let it go now
Let it flow unchained
All your feelin' is a cleansin' rain
Shake that rusty chain and let it go
