[ti: The Letters]
[length: 04:45]
[00:13.92]You never liked to get
[00:21.02]The letters that I sent
[00:27.51]But now you’ve got the gist
[00:33.70]Of what my letters meant
[00:40.47]You’re reading them again
[00:47.87]The ones you didn’t burn
[00:54.34]You press them to your lips
[01:00.31]My pages of concern
[01:07.98]I said there’d been a flood
[01:15.02]I said there’s nothing left
[01:21.43]I hoped that you would come
[01:28.14]I gave you my address
[01:34.44]Your story was so long
[01:41.22]The plot was so intense
[01:47.76]It took you years to cross
[01:53.98]The lines of self-defense
[02:01.14]The wounded forms appear
[02:08.07]The loss, the full extent
[02:15.16]And simple kindness here
[02:20.90]The solitude of strength
[02:27.82]I said there’d been a flood
[02:34.96]I said there’s nothing left
[02:41.78]I hoped that you would come
[02:48.36]I gave you my address
[02:58.07]You walk into my room
[03:04.60]You stand there at my desk
[03:11.17]Begin your letter to
[03:17.13]The one who’s coming next
[03:25.11](Begin your letter to)
[03:30.57](Ooohoo)
[03:35.26](The one who’s coming next)
[03:38.13]You never liked to get
[03:41.50]The letters that I sent
[03:44.66]But now you’ve got the gist
[03:47.91]Of what my letters meant
[03:51.28]You’re reading them again
[03:54.41]The ones you didn’t burn
[03:57.96]You press them to your lips
[04:01.48]My pages of concern
[04:04.99]I said there’d been a flood
[04:07.87]I said there’s nothing left
[04:10.90]I hoped that you would come
[04:14.24]I gave you my address
[04:18.02]Your story was so long
[04:21.11]The plot was so intense
[04:24.48]Took you years to cross
[04:28.20]The lines of self-defense
[04:31.75]The wounded forms appear
[04:34.45]The loss, the full extent
[04:37.65]And simple kindness here
[04:41.06]The solitude of strength
