The Letter — текст песни (Kristin Hersh)

September 29, 1984 dear so and so

Gather me up because Im lost

Or Im back where I started from

Im crawling on the floor rolling on the ground

I might cry I wont go home

So heres the story

I am turning up in circles

And Im spinning on my knuckles

Dont forget that there are circles left undone

And very close to me

Forgive me comfort me

Im crawling on the floor rolling on the ground

Theres a blanket wrapped around my head

Im moving in a line thats shaped like this

Im holding in my breath I have a room

Can you tell if I am lying

Dont forget that Im living inside

The space where walls and floor meet

Theres a box inside my chest

An animal stuffed with my frustration

Can you hear me?

Dont forget that Im alone when youre away

You make me act like other people do

Forgive me comfort me you comfort me

You make me die Im gonna cry I wont go home

Dont kill the God of sadness

Just dont let her get you down

See that man inside that book I read

Cant handle his own head

So what the hell am I supposed to do?

Id like to know how he died

My hands are shaking dont you love me anymore

I only need a person, keep my shoulders

Stand around lie down

Move your hand above the floor

Gather me up because Im lost

Or Im back where I started from

Im crawling on the ground rolling on the floor

Im gonna cry you look for me

Love kristin, p.s. keep them coming
