"The Letter" (written by Kristin Hersh)
Early Live Version: September 29th 1984, dear so and so Gather me up Because I'm lost And
I'm back where I started from I'm crawling on the floor Rolling on the ground And I'm gonna cry I
won't go home So here's
the story: I am turning
up in circles And I'm
spinning on my knuckles Just
remember there are pictures Very
special to me Swimming
in my head Can someone
tell me what people do for life? I'm alone when you're away Inside the space where walls and floor meet And the door meet There's a box inside my ribcage Left undone and very close to me It's my fault Forgive
me Comfort me You comfort me You make me die Gather me up 'Cause I'm back where I started from There's a blanket wrapped around my head I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this And painting pictures I'm holding in my breath I have a room Can you tell if I am lying? Don't forget that I'm living inside The space where walls and floor meet There's a box inside my chest And animal stuffed with my frustration Can you hear me? Don't
forget that there are circles left undone And very close to me Forgive
me Comfort me You comfort me You make me die I'm crawling on the floor Rolling on the ground ??????????????? And here I am wanting to leave again This man wants to have this woman ???????? The problem is ??? But
sadly I'm not There's
an answer in your sweater And
I'm drawing you a picture Here's
the line I made before It's
in your face Can someone
tell me what people do for love? Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away You make me act like other people do Forgive me Comfort me You
comfort me You make me
die I'm gonna cry I won't go home Don't kill the god of sadness Just don't let her get you down See the man inside the book I read Can't handle his own head So what the hell am I supposed to do? I'd like to know how he died My hands are shaking Don't you love me anymore? I only need a person Keep my shoulders, stand around Lie down Move your hand above the floor Gather me up Because
I'm lost Or I'm back where
I started from I'm crawling
on the floor Rolling on
the ground And I'm gonna
cry You look for me Love Kristin P.S. keep them coming
