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