Letters to the Grave

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
