Song Lyrics

I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away,

I knew I would, I would if I waited a day,

It made me feel better, what I had to say,

I knew it would, it did, but I waited.



I hardly bothered, though I laboured all day,

I work so hard, there's no time left to please you.

The day I decided I had nothing to say, I'll never learn,

I'm burning all this paper away.



(chorus)

A rhythym in your walking tree, its a tapestry of pride your weaving,

Over, under, ropes of wonder, tie me to a chair.

I'm dirty feet on your clean white shoes, I'm the man of the mess that

greets you, been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hair.



I think its time you let me go,

I'm too in love, let me go,

I think its time you let me go,

I'm too in love,

I think its time you let me go,

I'm too in love, let me go,



(chorus)



I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away,

I knew I would, I would, if I waited a day,

It made me feel better, but I have to say,

I'll never learn, I'm burning all this paper away,

I'm burning all this paper away,

I'm burning all this paper.
