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