Letters From The Wasteland - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
Now coming down

Out of this swandive to your arms
I make no sounds

When
I move thru your reservoirs
I wake up quick
I wake up sick

As you abandon me

Into these fields of rank and file

Thru this cloud
I hear you breathing

Thru these bars
I watch them bring more in


Now
I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slowdance to this romance on my own

May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go

It just takes one to let go.


Now boy keep still

Don't spread yourself around

Get back in line

Eat your bread

And just work the ground

'
Cause you're not through

They're not done with with you

Did you think you were

The only one who's been let down

So sleep tight little boys of the new dam

Let them drop in the quicksand


Now
I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slowdance to this romance on my own

May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go


Now another bad idea gets thru

Down they send me unto you

Every bridge
I should have burned

Every lesson i've unlearned

When the smoke give way to ruins

Incarcerated lovesick fools
I wait for you to cut me loose

But until then


Now
I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slowdance to this romance on my own

May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go

Now
I send back letters from the wasteland home

From where
I slowdance to this romance on my own
