The Letter Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

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 

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 I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet 

There's a box insied my chest 

An animal stuffed with my frustrations 

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 the man inside this book I read can't handle his own head 

So what the hell am I supposed to do ? 

I wonder 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 floor rolling on the ground 

I'm gonna cry you look for me 

Love Kristin 

P.S. keep them coming
