I watched the smoke as it grew darker
And blew up through the roof
I watched the fad who saw them panic
As the fire grew
I saw Virginia get rid of langley
And its secrets too
I held your hand
And sat there knowing
That we'd make it through
I saw this man dispose of hunger
And soap operas too
I saw this field that grew perfection
Full of things you'd do
I saw this box get rid of heartache
And cure cancer too
When I awoke I sat there hoping
This is what we'll do
If we can we will leave a letter
And this song for you
And we'll write once a day
And float it through the sea to you
We'll regret all those things we thought of
But didn't ever do
If we can we will leave a letter in this song
For you
And we'll write once a day
And float it through the sea to you
We'll regret all those things we thought of
But didn't ever do
When the sky seems to clear
Who will then be left but a few
Me and you
