My friend she`s on fire
She`s burning like a juniper tree
She don`t know what to do
But I do
`Cause she do it to me
Let it go let it go
It`s not nice to be like ice
It`s much better if you feel like fire
Yes there`s a bad moon coming up
And I can see it`s on the cusp
Electric winds are shrieking up in the wires
But it`s a warm evening out
It feels like New Orleans blue
On the spray from the African shore
Oh we could make it coast to coast
She said "Ain`t that the most?"
But I could tell she`d heard it all before
Let it go let it go
Let it shine down on me
Is this a love affair or is this a crime
Is this religion without priests, prayers or pews
This is the view from the left-over shelf
This is the punchline and the joke`s on you
I don`t need her kissy lips
I don`t need her armies or her pearls
I fell asleep and dreamed of far off lands
When I awoke I nearly married that girl
Let it go let it go
