Kristin Hersh - The Letter Lyrics
September 29, 1984 dear so and soGather me up because Im lostOr Im back where I started fromIm crawling on the floor rolling on the groundI might cry I wont go homeSo heres the storyI am turning up in circlesAnd Im spinning on my knucklesDont forget that there are circles left undoneAnd very close to meForgive me comfort meIm crawling on the floor rolling on the groundTheres a blanket wrapped around my headIm moving in a line thats shaped like thisIm holding in my breath I have a roomCan you tell if I am lyingDont forget that Im living insideThe space where walls and floor meetTheres a box inside my chestAn animal stuffed with my frustrationCan you hear me?Dont forget that Im alone when youre awayYou make me act like other people doForgive me comfort me you comfort meYou make me die Im gonna cry I wont go homeDont kill the God of sadnessJust dont let her get you downSee that man inside that book I readCant handle his own headSo what the hell am I supposed to do?Id like to know how he diedMy hands are shaking dont you love me anymoreI only need a person, keep my shouldersStand around lie downMove your hand above the floorGather me up because Im lostOr Im back where I started fromIm crawling on the ground rolling on the floorIm gonna cry you look for meLove kristin, p.s. keep them coming
