Select language to translate this lyric
I wrote her a letter and sent it her way
Wrote down in simple words
All the things that I meant to say when she was here
She could be an angel
But angels see the sunlight and disappear here
Count me down
I'll cross off all the days on my calendar 'till she comes around
Can you see the shadows dance in town?
Her silk words cloak me in memory, like she did in her dressing gown
Can you help me now?
I'm trying to move on
But I don't know how
This hardened heart's a tortoise shell
But somehow she made it melt
I know I've not been around that long
But it's a while since I've gone and felt this way
Like a needle in my haystack brain
I still can't find the words to make her stay
Count me down
I'll cross off all the days on my calendar 'till she comes around
Can you see the shadows dance in town?
Her silk words cloak me in memory, like she did in her dressing gown
Can you help me now?
I'm trying to move on
I know we're too far
I know we're too far away
I know we're too far
I know we're too far away
I made these words into paper birds
Just to watch them fly away
I know we're too far
I know we're too far away
Like a needle in my haystack brain
I still can't find the words to make her stay
Count me down
I'll cross off all the days on my calendar 'till she comes around
Can you see the shadows dance in town?
Her silk words cloak me in memory, like she did in her dressing gown
Can you help me now?
I'm trying to move on
I wrote her a letter and sent it her way
Wrote down in simple words
All the things that I meant to say when she was here
