To Let Go (Of That Load) Lyrics

She was told to come with an open mind
Just don't meet his eyes and you'll be fine
She thought she heard him asking; where you been?
Knowing that this time he'd let her in
If I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go?

Eighteen, baby it's such a shame
In the pine tree by the porch her name's engraved
And you won't believe the things she would for love
They found her lying face down in the snow
If I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go?

Eighteen, barefoot on his porch
Smiling like she's never done before
Arms stretched out, she's ready to depart
Whatever hit her, man, it did her harm
If I told you what I know
Would you be able to let go
Of that load
