The Letter Lyrics by Kristin Hersh

The Letter Lyrics

    September 29, 1984 Dear so and so
    Gather me up because I'm lost
    Or I'm back where I started from
    I'm crawling on the floor Rolling on the ground
    I might cry I won't go home
    So here's the story
    I am turning up in circles
    And I'm spinning on my knuckles
    Don't forget that there are circles left undone
    And very close to me
    Forgive me Comfort me
    I'm crawling on the floor Rolling on the ground
    There's a blanket wrapped around my head
    I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
    I'm holding in my breath I have a room
    Can you tell if I am lying
    Don't forget that I'm living inside
    The space where walls and floor meet
    There's a box inside my chest
    An animal stuffed with my frustration
    Can you hear me?
    Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away
    You make me act like other people do
    Forgive me Comfort me You comfort me
    You make me die I'm gonna cry I won't go home
    Don't kill the god of sadness
    Just don't let her get you down
    See that man inside that book I read
    Can't handle his own head
    So what the hell am I supposed to do?
    I'd like to know how he died
    My hands are shaking Don't 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 I'm lost
    Or I'm back where I started from
    I'm crawling on the ground Rolling on the floor
    I'm gonna cry You look for me
    Love Kristin, P.S. keep them coming
