Letting Go of Me

I met him on the slide

And for a little while

I went slumming

Long dark dreads

And smokey eyes

Found me weak

Found me speechless

He found the soft spot

Deep inside of me

I let him go before I left

For a dreamside island

Another plan

Lead me on my path

Far away from here

Found me free

Found me strong

He never saw

The very best of me

I met him on the slide

In a secret place

When I went slumming

Cast away

And past my time

I found the point

I found my speed

You never saw

The best of me

I left him on the side

For a seaside villa

Another man 

Called my name

With breathless voice

Found me alone

Found me free

He touched that need

Deep inside of me

I left him on the side

For a dreamland scene

Another man

Holds my hand

No more alone

Completely free

Letting go of you

Means letting go of me
