"Stevie Ray Vaughan" lyrics

I never played blues 'til Stevie Ray Vaughan
I never felt you 'til you were gone
And all of our shadows grow taller than trees
And all of my good means nothing to me

Don't let go
Never say I told you so, yeah

If there was a word for what I did to myself
And all the longing and nothing else
If there was a word for longing and peace
Until you give me some sweet release

Oh, I'd let go
I'd let go, yeah

We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say we didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way
We can't say we didn't sing it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way

I finally let her go

And our statues look into the pond
If there's a laugh for after dawn
And all the bullies say you just want one day
I didn't know they threw it all away

We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say we didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way
We can't say we didn't sing it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way

I never liked blues 'til Stevie Ray Vaughan
I never felt you 'til you were gone
And all of our shadows grow taller than trees
And all of my good means nothing to me

Woo, yeah
Woo

We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say we didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way
We can't say we didn't live it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't sing it
All the way

I finally let her go
I finally let her go
I finally let her go
