 x2
 Well  I own this  feel
 And I  rode the  sky
 And I  have no reason  to reason  with you
 I'd be sad  that I never held your hand  as you lowered,
 but I understand  that I'd never let it go
 I'd be sad that I never held your hand  as you were lowered,
 But I understand  the world does what it does
 You never  did learn  to let the little  things go,
 And you never  did learn  to let me be.
 And you never  did learn  to let little  people grow,
 You never  did learn  how to see.
 But I whisper  that I love this man now  and for forever,
 To your soul  as it floats out of the window.
 To the world  that you turned  your back  on,
 To the world  that never  really let you  be.
 I am lower  now, and lower  still,
 And you did always  say that one  day I would suffer,
 You did always  say that people  get their pay,
 You did always  say that I  was going places,
 And that you wouldn't  have it any  other way.
 But I couldn't  turn my back on a world,
 For what I like wouldn't let  me,
 But i couldn't  turn my back on a world,
 For what I like anyday
 not here in every version) - Carry on same chords
 And I couldn't  turn my back on a world,
 for what I like wouldn't let  me
 And I couldn't  turn my back on a world,
 for what I like I  needed
 And I shouldn't  turn my back,
 on a sweet  smelling Blackberry  Stone.
