Robin & Linda Williams - Letter That I Wrote lyrics

I left my home in the late part of the day Heading east before a sinking sun The snow was melting though just barely On the wind-blown and rain-soaked prairie I wondered, would the journey once begun Lead me back or to somewhere far away? Chorus: I spoke to you in my mind I tried the right words to find Though the words were not for you to hear They were meant but for my ear They were thoughts that came to me out on the road To put down in the letter that I wrote I loved you as I've told you When no one else had kindness to share I gave you all I had to give You were the reason I had to live Still I wonder as I leave in deep despair Were you someone that I never knew Chorus: When at last I stopped to take my rest I took pen and paper in my hand I began to tell you every heartache Every way I suffered for you sake But the weariness I could not stand I fell sleeping as the sun sank in the west And I dreamed we were pebbles by the sea On a blue world spinning through space In a dark and empty universe Where solitude is the curse And sorrow speaks from every face And the tides wash us to our destiny
