[Intro] Ooh... Low light falling... Long road turning... Mmm... [Verse 1] Low light falling, Long road turning, Names go quiet, Days stop burning. Something missing, Something moving, Words half-formed, But somehow soothing. [Pre-Chorus] Let it go, Let it fade, You don't have to Be afraid. [Chorus] I'll keep what slips away, I'll hold what you can't name. If the years fall out of place, I'll know them all the same. [Refrain] Ooh, what slips away... Ooh, what slips away... You don't have to carry Every yesterday. [Verse 2] Soft words fading, Doors half-open, Something lost, Something spoken. Faces changing, Rooms grow strange, You don't have to Make it stay. [Pre-Chorus] Let it go, Let it fade, You don't have to Be afraid. [Chorus] I'll keep what slips away, I'll hold what you can't name. If the years fall out of place, I'll know them all the same. [Refrain] I'll keep the thread, I'll keep the thread, When the words are gone, When the words are gone. [Bridge] And if you look at me Like we've never met, I won't ask you to remember. I won't make you regret. I'll give you back the pieces, One at a time. Not everything at once, Just enough to find. [Pre-Chorus] Let it go, Let it fade, You don't have to Be afraid. [Final Chorus] I'll keep what slips away, I'll hold what you can't name. If the years fall out of place, I'll know them all the same. I'll keep what slips away, I'll carry what is lost. You don't have to find the past To know what it was. [Final Refrain] Ooh, what slips away... I'll keep it... Ooh, what slips away... I'll know it... [Outro] Low light falling... Long road turning... Let it go... Let it fade...
