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