As I write these words today I look to see how long you been away These past few years have been a blur Wings of death snuck in and took you from this earth If I could only speak to you Find a way beyond the grave I know exactly what I'd say We use time like there's no end In our youth how are we to comprehend The decisions laid out at the time I didn't know I'd be the next man in line If I could only speak to you Find a way beyond the grave And If I never speak to you I'll carry this letter to my grave It has exactly what I'd say And I was far too young to know That I always was too late Before I could ever know It all slipped away I was far too young to know I was far too young to know That I always was, always was too late I was just too young to know That I'd have to let you go Before I'd ever say It all slipped away I'll carry this letter to my grave I'll carry this letter to my grave If I could only speak to you Find a way beyond the grave And If I never speak to you I'll carry this letter to my grave It has exactly what I'd say If I could only speak to you Find a way beyond the grave And If I never speak to you There's still so much left to say
