You wrote letters to our friends
So that we could all pretend
You were able to defend my love

Complex lines in verdigris
I owe you and you owe me
But I'm sure we won't agree, my love

And all the walls were falling down
Where all the words you wrote were found
And all the silent space around
Was suddenly alive

We took them as we took our leave
Filling pockets, filling sleeves
We were little more than thieves, my love

And we read every single note
And every thought and every quote
I cried at every word you wrote, my love
