Name: Sylvie (Letting go)
Duration: P00H02M50S
Description: This one is more rock than blues, though on this occasion I was playing acoustic. More recently, the mythical Sylvie has been dropped from the lyric: while I often sing this in tandem with 'One Step Away (From The Blues)', I haven't recorded it that way yet, and the vocal here is better than any more recent version.

lyrics

You keep asking for time so I’m giving you the rest of your life
It’s been a long way down but you can give it just as long as you like
A fast set of wheels is the only way out I know
I just feel like letting go

Talk about miles of air, that’s all I need
I’m leaving light as I came ’cause that’s just about my speed
I came in 29 and I’m leaving feeling 44
I just feel like letting go

We started out dancing but we’re each doing different steps
And I’m sick of waiting for a miracle to connect
You keep changing the rules but I’ve an end game all my own
I just feel like letting go

Sometimes I get the strangest feeling lying in your bed
While my body makes love, there’s rubber burning in my head
A fast set of wheels is the cleanest cut I know
I just feel like letting go
