************ I stop by the mailbox... There's nothing there But dust and dust and empty air. I had hoped for a letter from you... I had hoped for a letter from you... I stop by the mailbox... There's nothing in it, But a trick of a cruel shadow Made it look for a minute Like there was a letter from you... I had hoped for a letter from you... I look in the mailbox; It's empty again. I'm waiting and hoping And wondering when I will get a letter from you... I had hoped for a letter from you... (1989 Nimyonta Music)

lyrics

********************* Take me to the bottom, all the way Down to the bottom of the sea. And when we get there, we just might Think of something we could do. You've spent some time there, That much is plain to see, With all that seaweed hanging on you, And barnacles too, but only a few. Take me to the bottom, to the bottom of the sea, Take me with you... Take me all the way, all the way To the top of the sky. And when we get there, Will the air be thin and cold? You've been around, they say But still I don't know why You don't remember once your Story's told, like your soul's been sold. Take me to the top of the sky, Take me with you... Take me with you to the bottom of the sea, Take me with you to the top of the sky, Take me with you to the back of your mind, Take me with you... Take me with you to the Farthest reaches of outer space At a speed that might make make time slow down. Bring me in out of the rain, I just want to look at your face For hours, sitting silent, Take me in without a sound. Take me with you in your heart, Take me with you... Take me with you to the bottom of the sea, Take me with you to the top of the sky, Take me with you to the land behind your eyes, Take me with you... Take me with you to the bottom of the sea, Take me with you to the top of the sky, Take me with you to the back of your mind, Take me with you... Take me with you... Take me with you... (1990 Nimyonta Music)

************ "It hurts when you look at me that way." Sheila said. I didn't know what to say and shook my head. "What has become of yesterday?" She said "You promised me forever, But our love is dead." And I'm standing here, you're standing there. I'm not even sure you're listening. I don't even know you And I'm telling you what Sheila said. I asked "What did you expect?" Sheila said "I don't know." And it went on like that for quite a while, The way that kind of conversation goes. It went on like that for a while, The way that kind of conversation goes. And I'm standing here, you're standing there. I'm not even sure you're listening. I don't even know you and I'm telling you, I'm telling you what what Sheila said. And I got to thinking about what Sheila said And I realized that she was right. We'd been going round in circles all along. I wish I had Sheila tonight. After some time she began to cry. And after some time, she stopped crying. Sheila said "This is killing me. Can't you tell I'm dying?" (1990 Nimyonta Music)
