Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I would give you the green of the hillside Every stone on the old boreen I would string you a chain out of mornings And lay all your worries clean I would gather the tide in my two hands Turn the wind if it hurt your face I would trade my own name for your laughter I would bend both time and place [Chorus] But if letting you go is love Then I’ll loosen my fingers One by one You can carry my heart like a small white dove To a sky I might never see I will love you enough to leave you free [Verse 2] I have watched how your eyes chase horizons Past the roofs and the harbor wall There’s a map that is drawn in your heartbeat I can’t read Though I’ve tried through it all So I’ll pack you a bag full of blessings Fold a kiss in your shirt sleeve hem And I’ll stand where the road meets the river Till the water forgets your steps [Chorus] If letting you go is love Then I’ll loosen my fingers One by one You can carry my heart like a small white dove To a sky I might never see I will love you enough to leave you free [Bridge] Maybe one day the road will bend Back through this town Back to my door (oh love) Or maybe your name will only be A soft old song I hum once more [Chorus] If letting you go is love Then I’ll loosen my fingers One by one You can carry my heart like a small white dove To a sky I might never see I will love you enough to leave you free I will love you enough To set you free

Tender Irish ballad with alto female vocals, lilting low whistle countermelodies, soft heartbeat drum on the low end, and delicate harp arpeggios. Intimate verses begin almost a cappella with sparse harp; whistle weaves in on turnarounds. Chorus blooms with fuller drum and layered wordless harmonies. Subtle swell on the bridge, then gentle fade to a fragile final line and whispered whistle outro., world, harp, ballad
