Please Read The Letter

(Album: Raising Sand - 2007)

Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide.
Maybe, baby,
Everything's gonna turn out fine.

Please read the letter.
I nailed it to your door.
It's crazy how
It all turned out
We needed so much more.

Too late, too late.
A fool could read the signs.
Maybe, baby,
You'd better check between the lines.

Please read the letter.
I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation
From the angels of the deep.

Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.

Once I stood beside a well of many words.
My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds.

Please understand me.
My walls come falling down.
There's nothing here
That's left for you,
But check with lost-and-found.

Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.

One more song just before we go.
Remember, baby, you gotta reap just what you sow.

Please read my letter,
And promise me you'll keep
The secrets and the memories
We cherish in the deep.

Please read the letter.
I nailed it to your door.
It's crazy how
It all turned out
We needed so much more.

Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.
Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter.
Please read the letter.
Please read the letter.
