Letters From the Wasteland
music and lyric by Jake Dylan/the Wallflowers

Now coming down
Out of this swandive to your arms
I make no sounds
When I move through your reservoirs
Where I wake up quick
And I wake up sick
As you abandon me
Into these fields of rank and file
Through this cloud I hear you breathing
Through these bars I watch them bring more in

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
Last slowdance to this romance on my own
It may take two to tango, but boy it's one to let go
It's just one to let go.

Now boy keep still
Now don’t spread yourself around
Now get back in line
Eat your bread
And just work the plow

’Cause you’re not through
They’re not done with you
Did you think you were
The only one that's been let down
So sleep tight little boys of the new damned
Another drop in the tidalwave of quicksand

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
Last slowdance to this romance on my own
It may take two to tango, but boy it's one to let go.

Now another bad idea gets though
Down they send my love to you
You're every bridge I should have burned
Every lesson I’ve unlearned
When the smoke give way to ruin the
Incarcerated lovesick fools
I wait for you to cut me loose

But 'til then
I send back letters from the wasteland home
Last slowdance to this romance on my own
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
From where I slowdance to this romance on my own
