She Let Go of Her Kite - Amanda Shires[00:00:00]
Just as she patched it up[00:00:08]
It came unravelled[00:00:09]
A crash collapse into the trees[00:00:12]
A mess of garden twine and red fabric[00:00:16]
Tangled up good in the leaves[00:00:20]
She's getting tired of fixing the frame[00:00:23]
Nothing's made to last[00:00:27]
She let go of her kite[00:00:31]
It was as easy as switching off the light[00:00:35]
She watched it as it flew[00:00:39]
It felt like the right thing[00:00:43]
It starts out so enchanting[00:00:48]
You just can't live without it[00:00:52]
A shiny present in its wrapping[00:00:56]
You can picture yourself and how it happens[00:01:00]
And the newness wears thin[00:01:03]
Nothing's made to last[00:01:07]
She let go of her kite[00:01:11]
It was as easy as switching off the light[00:01:13]
She watched it as it flew[00:01:19]
It felt like the right thing[00:01:23]
They got it together in November[00:01:44]
A stormy wind ripped her coat[00:01:48]
A running start and they were sailing[00:01:52]
It was easy until the tether broke[00:01:56]
You start over and nothing's made to last[00:02:00]
She let go of her kite[00:02:07]
It was as easy as switching off the light[00:02:11]
She watched it as it flew[00:02:15]
It felt like the right thing[00:02:19]
For a few minutes she didn't move[00:02:40]
Just stood still and watched the air float through[00:02:44]
The reel empty in her hands[00:02:48]
Here's hoping it never has to land[00:02:52]
It moved out of view[00:02:55]
And nothing's made to last[00:02:59]
She let go of her kite[00:03:03]
It was as easy as switching off the light[00:03:06]
She watched it as it flew[00:03:11]
It felt like the right thing[00:03:14]
She let go of her kite[00:03:19]
It was as easy as switching off the light[00:03:23]
She watched it as it flew[00:03:27]
It felt like the right thing[00:03:31]
The right thing to do[00:03:35]
