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?
