Letters - Branches
A D A
I went through old letters that you wrote me
D A E
And followed your words to the bottom of the page
A D A
To find all the things that you tried to show me
D A E A
Months ago at the bottom of the page
A D A
All the words that I once knew
D A D A
Oh, I gave to you, yes I gave to you
D A
And all of the words that I want to know
D A D A
Have dried up in the back of my throat
A D A
I set sail across your words
D A D A
Hoping never to find shore, never to find shore
D A
And in the ocean of ink, I started to sink
D A E A
Before your words filled my lungs with breath again
A D A
There in the light of the evening city sky
D A E
The yellows and pinks tell my heart to think
A D A
And my mind to feel this love that is real
D A E A
And to let my lips say at last everything you mean
A D A
So I whisper slow, three words you already know
D A E
And the marching band falls in line
D E A
And the symphony leads your lips to mine!
