When I met Lauren we quickly discovered that we shared a love for the music of Lucinda Williams. This song (written by Randy Weeks) was one of the earliest that we sang together, hanging around the apartment, long before we thought of performing out together.
lyrics
CAN'T LET GO
(Randy Weeks)
Tell my baby one more time
Don't let me sit all alone and cry
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
I'm like a fish out of water
A cat in a tree
You don't even want to talk to me
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
See I got a candle and it burns so bright
In my window every night
Well it's over I know but I can't let go
You don't like to see me standing around
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Turn off trouble like you turn off a light
You went off and left me it just ain't right
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
Round every corner something I see
Brings it all back like it used to be
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
It's over I know it but I can't let go
