I got a letter
A real letter with stamps
A postcard from long ago
When the future was ours
And how you wrote
About your search for freedom
Words winged like the butterfly
And I think I understand
That slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
You won back your nights
Slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
We slid into oblivion, where the light is pale
That which was you and I
I wrote a letter
About living with this curse
I gave you my version of the truth
To make you understand
That slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
We won back our nights
Slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
We slid into the memory, hidden far back
That which was you and I
Slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
We won back our nights
Slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
We slid inte oblivion, where the light is pale
That which was you and I
