Lyrics The Letter - Xavier Rudd

The Letter

I sit at my window
With everything I’ve done
Doors that I’ve opened
The webs that i’ve spun
And the candle beside me
it burns to the left
and the rain on the clay
sends the lizard to it’s nest
will there be a time
when i’ll hold you again
With my arms spread out
My chest you’ll rest
And I’ll write you a letter
With everything I know
'bout the weight of the world
And the way things could go
So live up my friend
Step back again
For somethings will be given
For some you’ll have to bend
You' ll have to bend my friend
To hold on to this
For somethings will come easy
And some will be a test
(You'll have to bend)
Now the ocean connects me
To everything i know
I’m mellowing my mind
So my heart, it can call
With these trees as my witness
I’ll slice up some fruit
And each to their peacefull
good intentions and truth
There will be a time
when i’ll hold you again
With my arms spread out
I will dive right in
So now here is your letter
With everything I know
'Bout the weight of the world
And the way things could go
So live up my friend
Step back again
For somethings will be given
For some you’ll have to bend
You’ll have to bend my friend
To hold on to this
For somethings will come easy
And some will be a test
You’ll have to bend
Now the ocean connects me
To everything I know
I’m mellowing my mind
So my heart, it can call
With these trees as my witness
I’ll slice up some fruit
And each to their peacefull
good intentions and truth
There will be a time
When i’ll hold you again
With my arms spread out
I will dive right in
So now here is your letter
With everything I know
'bout the weight of the world
And the way things could go
