Lyrics Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss

Please Read the Letter

Caught out running

With just a little too much to hide.

Maybe, baby,

Everything's gonna turn out fine.

Please read the letter.

I nailed it to your door.

It's crazy how

It all turned out

We needed so much more.

Too late, too late.

A fool could read the signs.

Maybe, baby,

You'd better check between the lines.

Please read the letter.

I wrote it in my sleep

With help and consultation

From the angels of the deep.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Once I stood beside a well of many words.

My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds.

Please understand me.

My walls come falling down.

There's nothing here

That's left for you,

But check with lost-and-found.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

One more song just before we go.

Remember, baby, you gotta reap just what you sow.

Please read my letter,

And promise me you'll keep

The secrets and the memories

We cherish in the deep.

Please read the letter.

I nailed it to your door.

It's crazy how

It all turned out

We needed so much more.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter that I wrote.

Please read the letter.

Please read the letter.

Please read the letter.
