[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.

[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
