[Intro]
It's amazing
What words can do
Give your eyes a sparkle
Turn you inside-out
You washed in those words
Sewed them in the lining of your heart, and
They slowly seeped into your blood, and
They ran the course of your body

[Verse 1]
Faster than any drug
Faster than lightning
They ran to your feet
Your steps were solid, and they ran on to your hands
Your fingers weren’t afraid to touch
And they ran to your lips
And they spoke so soft
Ever so softly
On to me again

[Chorus 1]
Hey, what was in that letter
That calls to me, to me, to me?
What was in that letter?
Oh, straight to the very heart of me
What was in that letter
That haunts me from this distance?
I said, what was in that letter?
So sure, so persis-sistent
Why don't you open it?
Read it again
Yeah, open it, open it, open it
Whoa, yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
Shake it!

[Verse 2]
Hey, why don't you open it?
Read it again
Read it over again
Oh, to you and me now
Why don’t you let every last line
Sink into our little minds?
Read it again
Tear the curtain down
Pull the altar to the ground

[Chorus 2]
Hey, what was in that letter
That calls to me, to me?
What was in that letter?
Oh, straight to the soul of me
Yeah, letter
That haunts me from this distance
I said, what was in that letter?
Hey, what was in that letter?
Yeah, what was in that l-l-letter?
Yeah, what was in that letter?
