Unwritten

Oh, my love

Had there ever been a spring?

How would we know

Ever in the unknowing?

There's an old man standing by the side of the road

Doesn't carry that weight no more

He's a real live wire and all of his life

There's now somewhere that he does not know

Sifting through that old fall-out

Waiting for the dust to land

I'm gonna throw my cards as far as I can

To know what's in my hand

And I wrote my love a letter just a moment ago

Said I'd be getting on the next train, but I did not go

Yeah, I wrote my love a lettеr just to tell her so

I was sure wе made a promise, but you never know

And we tried to make it better

We tried to make it so

Oh, that feeling was strong

You know nothing's wrong

It's just that I was getting unwritten

[Instrumental Break]

Oh, my love

Had there ever been a spring?

How would we know

Ever in the unknowing?

There's an old man sitting by the side of the road

Doesn't carry that weight no more

He's a real live wire

Sure, he knows what he likes

In the morning on the edge of the moor

Patient as a puzzle unsolved

Patient as a heart untold

He had to keep his cards as close as he can

To know which way they land

And he wrote his love a letter just a moment ago

Said he'd be getting on the next train, but he did not go

Yeah, he wrote his love a letter just to tell him so

He was sure they made a promise, but you never know

They tried to make it better

They tried to make it so

And the feeling was strong, you know nothing's gone

It's just that he'd been getting unwritten

It's just that he'd been getting unwritten

But you know that this ain't getting undone

Know that this ain't getting undone

[Instrumental Outro]
