[Verse 1]

Footprints, my little minstrel footprints

Oh I leave them everywhere I go

So that when I’m gone you won’t forget my glow

Fingerprints, my little sneaky fingerprints

Oh I’m touching everything you own

So that when I’m gone this can still be my home


[Chorus]

Let go, I’ll be your warm wind

And if you let go, I’ll be your tide

And if I do the same, I can be your open window

And as the ground turns white, I’ll come crawling back in


[Verse 2]

Oh in the green trees, I’ll leave pieces of me

So that when fall comes, еvery time a leaf falls thе reds and oranges crunching will be me saying

Hello! Did you see my boat?

I drew it in the sky, and sent it your way

Now all you have to do is get in and come be my castaway


[Chorus]

Let go, I’ll be your warm wind

And if you let go, I’ll be your tide

And if I do the same, I can be your open window

And as the ground turns white, I’ll come crawling back in


[Bridge]

So for now I’ll be the smoke on your lips

The warmth that your hands will miss

Your buds when spring looks hopeless

Oh for now I'll be your Thursday night

Your sunburn from summer light

You can be my airplane flight

And soon I’ll have to slip away

As April dies and in comes May

But these stone steps will keep our words safe

Goodbye big dipper, gently carry me away


[Chorus]

Let go, now I’m blowing in a warm breeze

Let go, I’m blowing gently in the tide

Let go, I am my own open window

And as the ground turns white, I will play in the snow

Let go, now I’m blowing in a warm breeze

Let go, I’m blowing gently in the tide

Let go, I am my own open window

And as the ground turns white, I will play in the snow

When the ground turns white, I will play in the snow

When winter comes, we can have another go
