| [00:14.260] | You never liked to get |
| [00:20.490] | The letters that I sent. |
| [00:26.720] | But now you’ve got the gist |
| [00:32.910] | Of what my letters meant. |
| [00:40.070] | You’re reading them again, |
| [00:47.100] | The ones you didn’t burn. |
| [00:54.190] | You press them to your lips, |
| [00:59.350] | My pages of concern. |
| [01:07.250] | I said there’d been a flood. |
| [01:14.160] | I said there’s nothing left. |
| [01:20.820] | I hoped that you would come. |
| [01:27.270]I gave you my address.[00:00.00] | |
| [00:01.00] | |
| [01:33.260] | Your story was so long, |
| [01:40.590] | The plot was so intense, |
| [01:48.770] | It took you years to cross |
| [01:53.490] | The lines of self-defense. |
| [02:01.770] | The wounded forms appear: |
| [02:07.040] | The loss, the full extent; |
| [02:14.550] | And simple kindness here, |
| [02:20.490] | The solitude of strength. |
| [02:28.490] | I said there’d been a flood. |
| [02:35.490] | I said there’s nothing left. |
| [02:42.420] | I hoped that you would come. |
| [02:49.270] | I gave you my address. |
| [02:58.550] | You walk into my room. |
| [03:04.780] | You stand there at my desk, |
| [03:11.140] | Begin your letter to |
| [03:17.690] | The one who’s coming next |
| [03:25.490] | Begin your letter to |
| [03:37.690] | The one who’s coming next |
