She Let Go of Her Kite

Just as she patched it up\nIt came unravelled\nA crash collapse into the trees\nA mess of garden twine and red fabric\nTangled up good in the leaves\nShe’s getting tired of fixing the frame\nNothing’s made to last\nShe let go of her kite\nIt was as easy as switching off the light\nShe watched it as it flew\nIt felt like the right thing\nIt starts out so enchanting\nYou just can’t live without it\nA shiny present in its wrapping\nYou can picture yourself and how it happens\nAnd the newness wears thin\nNothing’s made to last\nShe let go of her kite\nIt was as easy as switching off the light\nShe watched it as it flew\nIt felt like the right thing\nThey got it together in November\nA stormy wind ripped her coat\nA running start and they were sailing\nIt was easy until the tether broke\nYou start over and nothing’s made to last\nShe let go of her kite\nIt was as easy as switching off the light\nShe watched it as it flew\nIt felt like the right thing\nFor a few minutes she didn’t move\nJust stood still and watched the air float through\nThe reel empty in her hands\nHere’s hoping it never has to land\nIt moved out of view\nAnd nothing’s made to last\nShe let go of her kite\nIt was as easy as switching off the light\nShe watched it as it flew\nIt felt like the right thing\nShe let go of her kite\nIt was as easy as switching off the light\nShe watched it as it flew\nIt felt like the right thing\nThe right thing to do
