The Letter - Xavier Rudd

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
