I pulled the handle on dark mahogany wood

Hoping to reveal secrets I held dear

My eyes caught sight of hundreds of letters written to you

I sat and listened hoping that my ears could hear

A message that was right, that was good

I needed my heart to tell me what to do

Oh, letters give me clarity!

Words of love, show me the truth

Keep my spirit from breaking apart.

I have experience strong love in my youth

All I want is for this sense of familiarity

With love-lost to leave my heart.
