If I Wrote You (Acoustic Revisited Version) - Dar Williams/Gary Louris

I never thought you were the letter writing type

So now I see the words

You chose the way you write

So I started to write back

About the trees in the snow

And I saw a bird

Couldn't say what it was but I thought you'd know

You always surprised me

If I wrote You

If I wrote You

You would know me

And you would not write me again

And when the spring came

And flooded all the streams

It's like how you got the night

You told me all your dreams

And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout

It's like how you got

When you knew the truth was the only way out

But not the only way you'd know

If I wrote you

If I wrote you

You would know me

And you would not write me again

We drew our arms around the bastard sons

We never would drink to the chosen ones

Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned

But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand

So I'm steady now

I'm so happy

Had to

And I love you

And you will not write me again

You will not write me again

You will not write me again
