Please Read The Letter Lyrics
Robert Plant Feat. Alison Krauss
Lyrics
Caught out running with just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby everything's gonna turn out fine
Please read the letter I nailed it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out we needed so much more
Too late, too late a fool could read the signs
Maybe baby you'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from the angels of the deep
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my walls come falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you but check with lost and found
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
One more song just before we go
Remember baby the things we used to know
Please read my letter and promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and cherish in the deep
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
