It's amazing
What words can do
Give your eyes a sparkle
Turn you inside out
You washed in those words
You sewed them in the lining of your heart
They slowly seeped into your blood
And ran the course of your body
Faster than any drug
Faster than lightning
They ran to your feet
Your steps were solid
And they ran on to your hands
Your fingers weren't afraid to touch
And they ran to your lips
And they spoke so soft
Ever so softly to me
What was in that letter
That calls to me, to me, to me
What was in that letter
Straight to the very heart of me
What was in that letter
That haunts me from this distance
What was in that letter
So sure
So persistent
Why don't you open it
Read it again
Read it over again to you and me
Why don't you let every last line
Sink into our little minds
Read it again
Tear the curtain down
Pull the altar to the ground
What was in that letter
That calls to the soul of me
What was in that letter
Tenderly, sweetly
What was in that letter
That haunts me from this distance
What was in that letter?
