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!
