I sighed for you, with my pen in hand Then I got the inspiration The words so pure - so real - so grand The writing was a revelation (it was...) A lightning bolt that I could hold (it was...) A passage I could now unseal (it was...) A secret only I got told Where the mysteries are all revealed I was always trying to find a way Been working it since I was young I know what I been trying to say I can taste it on the tip of my tongue I'll tell the truth of all I know There was nothing in the world to stop me I held the proof, to crack the code But I sent you out my only copy And they lost it in the U.S. mail 'Cause I only had your old address It was poetry that could not fail But it's blowing through the great S.W. I was always trying to find a way... Wind out of forever Swept away the letter Tumble down the weather worn sand Words upon the paper Fading back to nature Lost upon the desert land
