Received another letter today,    Asking me to stay   a little feeling crept inside me and whispered softly    "we could use you, oh, we surely could"    and I said "never mind this, I knew you would"    but I can't say I didn't think twice about turning around   But I can't say we all haven't thought twice about turning around.       Breathe softly into my lungs       received another letter today    I didn't bother to even read it.    When you know what they are telling you    And the ink is running in your veins    And you know every word by heart       My fingers bled from the cuts it left and the careless lead.       I'd surely die a thousand times or more    In your arms I find a peace    That leaves me feeling so secure in you   So secure in you.       Received my last letter today    And I surely burned it.    I sang along as flames grew angry    I sang along and fell asleep.       Serenade me oh sweet authors.
