Letter

Dad, write me a letter to be strong
To wonder where these tears belong
Show me the path my pride got lost
My dear, ask me why I am in pain
There may be someone giving rain
I know that I look quite afraid

Mama, there's a whirlwind I can't deal with
Oh, but I can't tell you what I fear
So maybe with a letter I will

I don't recognize myself
These words go off now as back then
So don't be afraid as once I'd be
Of words that one day you won't flee
You'll see water's coming back to heal

Letter, with my dry cry make me see
Where I arrived and what I missed
It hurts me what you make me read
Now that I've come to the other side
And other bruises mar my mind
You make me sink in your cruel lines

Checkered yellow paper, who'd have glimpsed that
Over is the fiercest trick love has played?
And what would count in time is what remains

'Cause memories we call for never end
Memories we call for never end
Memories we call for never end

So I talk to you, my little kid
Be a mirror of the man you see
And will you find me ready when
The shallow calls me up again?
Still in this endless maze I've got your thread
And I'll hoist the white sails today

Letter, it's a journey you set off that day
When I thought I'd drown like a tear in a lake
I'll be worth as helpless I'm leaving
And if I'm wrong, then cry out my name
Oh, may this letter be lighting my
