Please Read The Letter

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)

Caught out running

With just a little too much to hide

Maybe baby

Everything's gonna work out fine

Please read the letter

I pinned 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



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



One more song just before we go

Remember baby

All the things

We used to know

Please read my letter

And promise you'll keep

The secrets and the memories and

Cherish in the deep



Ah...



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 that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote
