She Let Go of Her Kite

Just as she patched it up, it came unraveled
A crash collapse into the trees
A mess of garden twine and red fabric
Tangled up good in the leaves
She's gettin' tired of fixin' the frame
Nothing's made to last
She let go of her kite
It was easy as switching off the light
She watched it as it flew
It felt like the right thing
It starts out enchanting
You just can't live without it
A shiny present in its wrapping
You can picture and how it happens
And the newness wears thin
Nothing's made to last
She let go of her kite
It was easy as switching off the light
She watched it as it flew
It felt like the right thing
He got it together in November
A stormy wind whipped her coat
A runnin' start and then they were sailing
It was easy until the tether broke
You start over and nothing's made to last
She let go of her kite
It was easy as switching off the light
She watched as it flew
It felt like the right thing
For a few minutes she didn't move
Just stood still and watched the air flow through
The reel empty in her hands
Here's hoping it never has to land
It moved out of view
Nothing's made to last
She let go of her kite
It was easy switching off the light
She watched it as it flew
It felt like the right thing
Repeat chorus
