    Lyrics:
    You never liked to get
    The letters that I sent
    But now you've got the gist
    Of what my letters meant
    You're reading them again
    The ones you didn't burn
    You press them to your lips
    My pages of concern
    I said there'd been a flood
    I said there's nothing left
    I hoped that you would come
    I gave you my address
    Your story was so long
    The plot was so intense
    It took you years to cross
    The lines of self-defense
    The wounded forms appear:
    The loss, the full extent;
    And simple kindness here
    The solitude of strength
    I said there'd been a flood
    I said there's nothing left
    I hoped that you would come
    I gave you my address
    You walk into my room
    You stand there at my desk
    Begin your letter to
    The one who's coming next
    Begin your letter to
    The one who's coming next
    You never liked to get
    The letters that I sent
    But now you've got the gist
    Of what my letters meant
    You're reading them again
    The ones you didn't burn
    You press them to your lips
    My pages of concern
    I said there'd been a flood
    I said there's nothing left
    I hoped that you would come
    I gave you my address
    Your story was so long
    The plot was so intense
    Took you years to cross
    The lines of self-defense
    The wounded forms appear:
    The loss, the full extent;
    And simple kindness here
    The solitude of strength

      Nothing is disappointing with Master Léonard.

    • @gunnarrundblad6846
      @gunnarrundblad6846 2 года назад

      There are places he went that are hard to understand and uninviting to follow. He nurtured a masochistic side - something I clearly realised on the first concert I went to - maybe the hindside of his pronounced humility - . I think this sometimes led him into detrimental company, as happened with the "Death of a Ladie's Man" album. Maybe something in that direction occured with this album? I like some of the songs and this is one of them but the over-all production is not always convincing.
