Song Description

Months after leaving, Chloe finally writes a letter to Lonnie. Lonnie appreciates that it is a handwritten letter, not an email or a text. He can feel the pressure of Chloe's body inscribed in every inked letter on the page, infusing the paper fibers with her essence. After reading it many times, Lonnie writes a letter back, addressed to a Wyoming post office box. Then he writes a song about the labyrinth of love and stays up playing it till dawn.

Lyrics

Chloe writes a letter to him now.
She traces words in ink and says the words out loud.
She licks the envelope, seals it with her tears.
She doesn't know what she fears.

Lonnie reads the letter in his room.
He reads it twenty times and sees beyond the words.
Her reaches into Chloe's soul--
knows that she's scared, that she's maybe lost control.

When the catalpas bloom in June,
She says she'll blossom like the moon.

Chloe sends some pictures of herself.
She's on the road climbing mountains to the sky.
She says she needs nothing else.
She doesn't know the answers or need the reason why.

Lonnie takes the letter now--
he don't even know what he's doing everything is going wrong.
Lonnie writes a letter of his own.
He spells out his words so fair,
finds the chords to match the melody that's flowing gently through his mind.
Lonnie sends the letter and his song....
He plays it all night long.

Chloe reads the letter, plays his song.
She knows he's hurting, that she's maybe done him wrong.
She climbs a mountain peak, hums herself to sleep,
and in the morning she goes on.

Dear Chloe,
This is just to say I miss you.
I think about us back in the day. So here's a song for you.
Play it when you want or need or when you're sad....
And I'll sing it now, thinking of the luster of your eyes.
I'll sing it now--sing it until the end of time.
