Lyrics
Found a letter in a drawer Yellow paper, soft and worn Your handwriting, my name Written on a summer morn A pressed flower slips out Purple petals, thin as air You must have tucked it in When you had no time to spare Pressed flowers, folded page Love kept safe through all the years Pressed flowers, folded page Still I smell the sun and tears Sweet old words, they never fade Pressed flowers, folded page I read it by the lamp tonight Slow and soft, one line a time You said you'd wait beside the gate And I am walking, I am fine Pressed flowers, folded page Love kept safe through all the years Pressed flowers, folded page Still I smell the sun and tears Sweet old words, they never fade Pressed flowers, folded page Some things you keep inside a book Some things you keep inside your heart Take your time, there's no rush now Every ending is a start Pressed flowers, folded page Love kept safe through all the years Pressed flowers, folded page Still I smell the sun and tears Sweet old words, they never fade Pressed flowers, folded page Folded page Folded page
