[Verse 1: Kate Rusby]
Take my hand, my dear
We know that the time it is near
Be strong and be brave, my dear
Let me go now
Let me go
How it came to this it's not clear
Long and lonely nights now I fear
Though I need your hand to hold, my dear
Let me go now
Let me go
Let me go now
Let me go

[Verse 2: Kate Rusby, Roddy Woomble]
Take my hand, my dear
We were drifting year after year
When we tried our best to fly, my dear
Let me go now
Let me go
How it came to this it's not clear
Long and lonely nights now I fear
Be strong and be brave, my dear
Let me go now
Let me go
Let me go now
Let me go
[Verse 3: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Roddy Woomble]
Take my hand, my dear
Love takes us far away from here
Tell me once again so I hear
Let me go now
Let me go
Let me go now
Let me go
Let me go now
Let me go
