Letter to the Middle of the World

Sent a letter to the middle of the world
That I never could forget her like some ordinary girl
Traveling through town
Poured out all my mind
In a letter to the middle of the world

Sent the bottle on its way across the waves
In a letter left inside I left a little piece I’d saved
Of my life every day
Love now locked away
In a bottle on its way across the waves

That’s why I’m standing by the sea
Cold water waltz across my feet
Last night I dreamed you came and danced with me
My Melody

So I walked until my skin burned from the sun
Paused on every empty bottle
Stopped and looked in every one
Hoping for just some sign that you would come
And I walked on as my skin burned from the sun

That’s why I’m bended on my knees
Picked up a shell I saw that gleaned
My ears could swear they hear you call to me
My Melody

That’s why I’m standing by the sea
Cold water waltz across my feet
Last night I dreamed you came and danced with me
My Melody

So the seagulls swim in circles in the sky
The one w/the broken wing
Will walk the beach and cannot fly
I watch him as he tries
Cuz there for you go I
As the seagulls swim in circles in the sky
