Lyrics
A letter on the mat this morning Blue ink and a crooked line I know your hand, I know your loops I read it slow, I take my time The kettle sings, the sun comes in I sit down by the window light You wrote the words you couldn't say Now they are here, and they are right Your letter in your own hand Every word a warm hello Paper folded in my pocket Keeps me close wherever I go Your letter in your own hand Sweet and slow, sweet and slow You said the garden's growing green You said you miss my laugh at night You said the days are long without me But the end of the road is bright Your letter in your own hand Every word a warm hello Paper folded in my pocket Keeps me close wherever I go Your letter in your own hand Sweet and slow, sweet and slow I will write you back today Pen and paper, nothing more Put a stamp upon my heart And send it to your door Your letter in your own hand Every word a warm hello Paper folded in my pocket Keeps me close wherever I go Your letter in your own hand Sweet and slow, sweet and slow In your own hand In your own hand Sweet and slow
