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