I got a letter
A real letter with a stamp
A postcard from long ago
When the future was ours
And how you wrote
Of your search for freedom
Words winged like a butterfly
And I believe that I understand
That slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
So you won your nights back
slowly, slowly, oh so slowly,
So we glided into oblivion where the light is weak
That which was you and me
I wrote a letter
About living with the curse
I gave you my version of the truth
To get you to understand
That slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
So we won our nights back
slowly, slowly, oh so slowly,
So we glided into the memory, hidden far back
That which was you and me
That slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
So we were our nights back
slowly, slowly, oh so slowly,
So we glided into oblivion where the light is weak
That which was you and me
