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