On rope swings and avalanches, as with love we get our chances And we've got to let go There's a deeper well, but we're not drinking from it And it hurts like hell to just be thinking of it I've got to let go, time to let go, you know They say love is a gift and so we help ourselves I don't know why They say if its love you can work it out That's the cruelest lie. Whispers and confessions These are the lovers' obsessions I've got to let go But you can still come to me, if you still need it But not in confidence, not in secret I've got to let go, time to let go, you know They say love is a gift and so we help ourselves I don't know why They say if its love you can work it out That's the cruelest lie. On rope swings and avalanches As with you my love, we took our chances Now we've got to let go, time to let go, to let go, got to let go You know.
