Letters from Odysseus by The Mpls Henrys Lyrics

It's been too long since I've held you close
To picture you've kept these eyes closed
Paint it on the [?]

Remember when I left and you just stood there sad and broken in the rain?
How can I forget?
Spend my days out of sight
Spend these days just trying to make it right

The truth we sought, the bowl we bought
And sure whether we're prepared to face the cost
We'rе still paying for it

[Instrumental]

Meet me down by the water sidе
Go find the bottles left in the morning time
Meet me down by the shore
We'll find the notes we set out the night before

Let it go, let it go
Oh my dear
Don't let it flow away
Let me go, let me go
Oh my dear
Don't let it flow away

[Instrumental]

Which side is what we choose to read?
Why we follow each other's heed?
What often starts as a comedy
Often winds up as a tragedy
