I got out of my bed I wrote a letter down Was missing several words But I could hear their sound I didn't know who I Would send the letter to But their upon my step Strange man with eyes of blue I went back to my desk I wrote six letters more Stories about a shell Washed upon a shore And when it opens up Will you be there Cause when it opens up From it's armor it's scared Will you be there I thought about the way He stood so patient with My fightin' trembling hands My traps and all my tricks But then it bubbled up The endless well of doubt He'd see all I had done Figure the whole thing out And when it opens up Will you be there Cause when it opens up From it's armor it's scared Will you be there And all the times it's bled and all the times it's lied The ways that it's been led and all the times it's tried To get on without love and keep killing time Meanwhile this precious heart was shrivelling up inside I write a letter down I'm missing several words But if you hear their sound Some way I've never heard I'll seal it with my hands I'll press it to your heart It's more than I can stand But maybe that's a start And when it opens up Will you be there Cause when it opens up From it's armor it's scared Will you be there
