I watched the smoke
As it grew darker
And blew up through the roof
I watched the fad
Who sobbed in panic
As the fire grewI saw Virginia
Get rid of Langley, and its secrets too
I held your hand
And sat there knowing
That we'd make it throughI saw this man
Dispose of hunger
And soap opera too
I saw this field
That grew perfection
Full of things you doI saw this box
Get rid of heartache
And cure cancer too
When I awoke
I sat there hoping
This is what we'll doIf we can
We will leave our letter and this song, for you
And we'll write, once a day
And float it through the sea, to you
We'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever doIf we can, we will leave our letter and this song, for you
And we'll write, once a day
And float it through the sea, to you
We'll regret, all those things we thought of but didn't ever do
When the sky, seems to clear
Who will then be left, but a few, me and you
