Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sweetie little Jean where did you go?

Everyone's been searching high and low

And your mother's worried sick

Dearest Daddy's lost his grip

While the whole world's watching

Candlelight vigils being held in silence

On the channel four

And they've knocked on every door

Every place you've been before

[Verse 2]

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

[Verse 3]

I, I want you, babe

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all our troubles will be dead and gone

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

[Verse 4]

Has melancholy taken you for good?

You know that I would save you if I could

Watched your laughter turn to tears

Then you vanished in thin air

Well we pinned your missing person picture

Up on every mother loving post

How's it feel to be a ghost?

You're the one I love the most

[Verse 5]

I, I want you, babe

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your breast

Where all our troubles will be laid to rest

[Verse 6]

I pushed and I pulled till I pushed you aside

Now all that is left are the tears that you cried

I'm sorry, love, for all of the damage done

My only hope

Is someday to be back beside you

[Verse 7]

I, I want you babe

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all our troubles will be dead and gone

[Verse 8]

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go
