Go Gentle

About this track
This one is for the kind of goodbye nobody knows how to say properly. When someone you love is fading and there’s nothing left to fix, nothing clever to say, nothing strong enough to hold them here. So you just stay close. You keep your voice soft. You let the room go quiet. You try to make the leaving feel less frightening. Go gentle. That’s all this song is really asking. --Lyrics-- You had a far-off look You wore the quiet well I knew it wasn't peace I knew you couldn't tell I felt you slip away Knew it wouldn't be long I tried to call you back But you'd already gone Go gentle Go gentle I can't make you want to stay Go gentle Go gentle As you slowly fade away I won't pull you back I won't ask you why I'll hold my words inside While you close your eyes I couldn't stop the dark I couldn't slow the day I had to let you go But held you anyway Go gentle Go gentle I can't make you want to stay Go gentle Go gentle As you slowly fade away If you fade, fade slow You are loved, please know Carry no more fear I will meet you there Go gentle Go gentle I can't make you want to stay Go gentle Go gentle As you slowly fade away Go gentle Go gentle As you slowly fade away #GoGentle #IndieFolk #AltFolk #AmbientFolk #ChamberFolk #SingerSongwriter #CinematicFolk #SadFolk #GriefSong #LoveAndLoss
