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!
