Lyrics to the song Can't Let Go (Live 1982) as recorded by Roxy Music.
Words & Music By Bryan Ferry
Well I rush out blazin' my pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now to fight with fate
Outnumbered 'n out of place
They said go west young man, that's best
It's there you'll feel no pain
Bel-air's okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must I ride it like the storm?
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
It's a winding road from Cuesta Way down sunset to the beach
And Canoga Park is a straight safe drive too far out of reach
But now the headlights are flashin' by so fast
All directions seem the same
And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin'
You can't let go again
What's in a name on the street tonight?
I'm only a face in the crowd
I'm all in the dark and afraid tonight
Nowhere to run or to hide
But I can't let go
No
Sometimes the world outside'll take you in with just a smile
And you so blinded with desire
A hundred sleepless nights have left me wasted and so cold
But I can take it I'm hangin' on
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must I ride it like the storm?
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
Can't let go, Can't let go, Can't let go,Can't let go
Can't let go, Can't let go, Can't let go, Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't Let Go (Live 1982)
