lyrics

I wanted so little
such simple things
the chance to go where I want, when I want
to spread my little wings

I wanted so little
I wanted so much
to sit in the sunlight on some little street
to hold someone's hand
to feel someone's touch

and with you I've come closer than I ever thought I could
closer to all of the everyday wonders that I never understood

and the little I've tasted has filled me with joy
and is filling me with despair
to crave something so is a little like madness
and I'm going mad with this craving, I swear.
For I cannot live in your world any longer.
I'm deadly, and dying on the vine.
And little by little, I'm more and more certain
that you cannot live in mine.

Our time has been so little
but my love for you goes on
I treasure these days with you
and I will treasure them more when you're gone

and that is little comfort
but this much I know
I wanted so little
I was selfish to want it
and it kills me a little to say it, but:

let me go.
Let me go.
Let me go.

Brendan Milburn recommends:

south
by Jerry Chapman

Jerry's got this laconic, kinda flat affect singing style which only makes his lyrics land even more. Great acoustic guitar playing, thoughtful lyrics from a generous and kind worldview. Recommended. Brendan Milburn
