You never liked to get
The letters that I sent
But now you've got the gist
Of what my letters meant
You're reading them again,
The ones you didn't burn
You press them to your lips,
My pages of concern
I said there'd been a flood
I said there's nothing left
I hoped that you would come
I gave you my address
Your story was so long,
The plot was so intense,
It took you years to cross
The lines of self-defense
The wounded forms appear:
The loss, the full extent;
us4
And simple kindness here,
The solitude of strength
I said there'd been a flood
I said there's nothing left
I hoped that you would come
s
I gave you my address
You walk into my room
You stand there at my desk,
Begin your letter to
The one who's coming next
(Begin your letter to)
(Oooooooo the one who's coming next)
