We Could Send Letters

You said you're free, for me that says it all

You're free to push me and I'm free to fall

So if we weaken we can call it stress

You've got my trust I've got your home address

And now the only chance that we could take

Is the chance that someone else won't make it all come true



We're making tracks, they show our touch and go

And now it's touch and come and you should know

But then four years won't mean that much to me

When I've been smothered in the sympathy you bleed



Just close your eyes

Again

Until these things

Get better

You're never far

Away

But - we could send letters



While you were gone I reached another town

They couldn't help me, but they showed me 'round

And now I've seen what you can't understand

I'd try to lead you but I'd crush your hand



Because the people in the village know

It doesn't matter Where you choose to go

The end's the same



I found some blood I wasn't meant to find

I found some feelings that we'd left behind

But then some blood won't mean that much to me

When I've been smothered in the sympathy you bleed



Just close your eyes

Again

Until these things

Get better

You're never far

Away

But - we could send letters
