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?
