Letters In Time - ©2011 Chris Conway
They let me send this letter back this time machine.
To Twenty years ago today
If I write it will you understand what I mean?
It's hard to work out what to say
Except don't worry so much
But I know that you will
All of those mysteries
You stayed up nights thinking about
Well they just melt away
But you're gonna have to work it out for yourself
Like I worked it out for myself

I can picture you in your room with the green light
Finding this letter on your Fender Rhodes
That ghost that used to haunt you is still with me tonight
In fact he wants to say hello
When you need a helping hand
He'll play those mystic chords
Yes there will dark times
I wish I could steer you round
But then I wouldn't be me
If I told you how I worked it out by myself
You'll have to work it out for yourself

I spend my time knocking down the walls
Some you'll build with love and some in fear
I know I can't stop you building them higher and higher
But build some windows in x 3
Before I disappear

I press the button and turn the handle around
The letter is gone , my work is done
Then I see a piece of paper come fluttering down
To me from me 20 years to come
Your handwriting's shakier now
You say I'm going to be all right
There are no answers
Whatever gets you through the night
But I know that it proves that I'm gonna work it all out for myself.
Like you worked it out for yourself

I'm gonna work it out for myself
Letters in time, round your mind...
