Letters Songtext

von Enter the Haggis

Lost, farewell
Under this sinking sun
In an ocean of sky
Dust and bones
Echoes of rusty guns
I'm not too young to die

Your love is a compass rose
Steadfast through this sand and stone
Wind, carry these letters home to Joan
Old memories come to life
A last dance in this amber light
Wind, carry these letters home tonight

Spinning wheels
Since i was just a boy
With a traveling mind
The bright moon steals
The heart of orion's joy
We trace a simple line

All our days
There was a song that played
For you in my head
All these things on my mind
Now that i'm taking the time
To write

See these letters swirl
Like a thousand white birds
In the sky up above her
I'm a flag unfurled
And I'm sending my heart
To a dear friend and lover
