Skyscapes on hillscapes
Mountains set the land
And I walked with you
As once we walked
Hand in hand
The sky lines the hillside
The grass against the sand
And I sang to you
As once we sang
Hand in hand

I let you go where have you gone?
I let you go and it’s one year on
I let you go and it’s been so long
Where have you gone?

You told me then that
You loved me so
I feared if your love I returned
I could never let you go
You looked upon gently
Underneath starlight
But I told you my heart
I could not give
Not this or any night

I let you go where have you gone?
I let you go and it’s one year on
I let you go and it’s been so long
Where have you gone?

I thought that you would
Wonder for a while
But I never thought
You would travel so far
I miss your eyes and smile
I think of you each night I ask
The angels where you’ve gone
I pray the next will be the day
Of your return at dawn

I let you go where have you gone?
I let you go and it’s one year on
I let you go and it’s been so long
Where have you gone?

Days are long and all is lost
As I’m without you here
For I’m a fool
Who loved you true
But my heart froze in fear
I feared that I
Might love you more
And you would break my heart
But now I know
This could not be
Worse than one year apart

I let you go where have you gone?
I let you go and it’s one year on
I let you go and it’s been so long
Where have you gone?

When you return to me
I’ll tell you of my love
And I’ll never let you feel alone
I wish on stars above
Let my love return to me
To him my heart belongs
I will not let my fear return
Of love I’ll write my songs

I let you go where have you gone?
I let you go and it’s one year on
I let you go and it’s been so long
Where have you gone?
