Ruth Moody - These Wilder Things

All this time
it was staring me in the face
I was so far gone
I could have ended it right there
I was dead in the ring, lost in the race
All this time
it was with me when I was nowhere

Well it cuts the deepest
when you watch it moving in
And there ain't nothing
you can do to turn it round
There ain't no armor can save you then
Love takes no prisoners
on this battleground

And letting go
is the hardest part
When holding on
has been everything
Well I have this pain deep in my heart
That's why I sing,
that's why I sing

Cut me open
when I'm dead and gone
You'll see this one ring,
stained dark as wine
This was always to be part of my story
Not yours but mine,
not yours but mine

And letting go
is the hardest part
Holding on,
some semblance of control
Well I have this pain deep in my heart
But I am still whole,
I am still whole

And I will waste my heart on fear no more
I will find a secret bell and make it ring
And let the rest be washed up on the shore
They can't be tamed, these wilder things
No, they can't be tamed, these wilder things
