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