This song just came to me. It wasn't dramatic or overwhelming or spooky scary. I did feel an enourmous sense of peace afterwords, some of which still lingers when I hear it or perform it.

In the words of James Taylor, It's me and my guitar. Always in the same mood! Then again, maybe my guitar is just humoring me - sigh -
Just me, I'm an old Folksinger that still plays out once in a blue moon. Thank you for listening to my primitive acoustic songs. I am a retired Army Bandsman, a certified Wall Wacker, and am currently a teacher. Next time I retire I am going back into Folksinging. It's the perfect occupation really, no hope of fame and fortune and definately keeps me humble. Folksinging just naturally makes me a better person I s'pose.

Story behind the song
There is no story behind this song, or if there is it has been hidden or blocked from me. I had a strong compulsion to write it and after I did, I knew it was the right thing to do. That's all I can tell you. I hope it means something to you, it certainly means something to me.
Lyrics
Letting Go Charles W - T Consaul 1. When I died, My Momma cried I felt her tears rush to the floor And I said "Don't cry Momma please" "'Cause I'm not hurting anymore" Then my father hung his head I heard the doctor say "He's Dead" They put a sheet over the body Of the young boy on the bed C: But that's not Me! I'm right here And I feel better than I've ever felt for hours Stuck inside that prison of a bed Without your love I would have withered like the flowers That you brought me from the yard You know it's hard to love a dying thing When all you get from love is letting go And wondering if you really let it show And knowing that you'll never really know Dye Dye Dye, Dye Dye Dye, Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye, Dye Dye Dye, Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye Dye 2. I can't touch anymore But I can reach for miles and miles So send out your prayers for me I love them dearly as your smiles You have to come here someday too It will be harder to let go It's not just dying Mom I wish that you could know Chorus 3. I am only in your dream If you wake up, then I'll be gone Unless you keep me in your memory And you let me linger on Please don't try to follow after This is not turn to see There's a light for everyone And mine is calling me Chorus
