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