The Wallflowers Letters from the Wasteland song lyrics

Now coming down out of this swan dive to your arms

I make no sounds when I move through your reservoirs

I wake up quick and I wake up sick

As you abandon me into these fields of rank and file

Through this cloud I hear you breathing

Through these bars I watch them bring more in

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slow dance to this romance on my own

May take two to tango but boy it's one to let go

Well it's just one to let go

Now boy keep still, no don't spread yourself around

Now get back in line, eat your bread and just work the ground

'Cause you're not through, they're not done with with you

Did you think you were the only one that's been let down

So sleep tight little boys of the new dam

Let the drop in the time with the quicksand

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slow dance to this romance on my own

May take two to tango but boy it's one to let go

Now another bad idea gets through, down they send me well unto you

Every bridge I should have burned, every lesson I've unlearned

When the smoke give way to ruins incarcerated lovesick fools

I wait for you to cut me loose but until then

I send back letters from the wasteland home

Last slow dance to this romance on my own

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

From where I slow dance to this romance on my own
