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