Lyrics

Oh Alyssen, I received the letter that you wrote to me,
postmarked for the last day of October.
I sit here reading all about your thoughts
on debt of emotion and of illusion.

Girl, why couldn?t you ever let me in?
I would just like to know where you?ve been,
because your words they comfort me about these questions,
and speak and tell of everything that I hear.

On a morning like this
Alyssen knew
she couldn?t take her life away.

In a moment like this
Alyssen saw
her life change its way.

Hey Alyssen, take your time
and have another cigarette.
Tell me why they found you like they did,
sitting in your bath tub and
the water?s just so damn cold.
Why don't you tell us now what you
never said before?

because your words they comfort me about these questions,
and speak and tell me of everything that I hear
