| [00:14.260] |
You never liked to get |
| [00:20.490] |
The letters that I sent. |
| [00:26.720] |
But now you’ve got the gist |
| [00:32.910] |
Of what my letters meant. |
| [00:40.070] |
You’re reading them again, |
| [00:47.100] |
The ones you didn’t burn. |
| [00:54.190] |
You press them to your lips, |
| [00:59.350] |
My pages of concern. |
| [01:07.250] |
I said there’d been a flood. |
| [01:14.160] |
I said there’s nothing left. |
| [01:20.820] |
I hoped that you would come. |
| [01:27.270]I gave you my address.[00:00.00] |
|
| [00:01.00] |
|
| [01:33.260] |
Your story was so long, |
| [01:40.590] |
The plot was so intense, |
| [01:48.770] |
It took you years to cross |
| [01:53.490] |
The lines of self-defense. |
| [02:01.770] |
The wounded forms appear: |
| [02:07.040] |
The loss, the full extent; |
| [02:14.550] |
And simple kindness here, |
| [02:20.490] |
The solitude of strength. |
| [02:28.490] |
I said there’d been a flood. |
| [02:35.490] |
I said there’s nothing left. |
| [02:42.420] |
I hoped that you would come. |
| [02:49.270] |
I gave you my address. |
| [02:58.550] |
You walk into my room. |
| [03:04.780] |
You stand there at my desk, |
| [03:11.140] |
Begin your letter to |
| [03:17.690] |
The one who’s coming next |
| [03:25.490] |
Begin your letter to |
| [03:37.690] |
The one who’s coming next |
