Let It Happen - Kathryn Williams

Have you been crying to yourself

Is your imagination ever going to stop

Dressed in brown to match the seine

Your eyes like dark windows

Your brain’s working faster than the cars

Let it happen relax

Don’t try to fight it

It’s slipped away and it’s never

Coming back

The sky open and blue

Like the letters that came from Africa

We look at drawings of lions

And imagine them sat by gas fires

Sat by gas fires

Let it happen relax

Don’t try to fight it

It’s slipped away and it’s never

Coming back

I want to cry but I can’t

Like when it’s too cold to snow

The day I left the wind blew shut

Velvet curtains

I became older

Let it happen relax

Don’t try to fight it

It’s slipped away and it’s never

Coming back and it’s never

Coming back

It’s never coming back and it’s never…

Coming back.
