I watched the smoke
As it grew darker
And blew up through the ruff
I watched the Fed
and 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 make it through

I saw this man
dispose of hunger
and soap operas too
I saw a field
that grew perfection
fall of things you 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 put 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
and this song
for you
and we'll write once a day
and put 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
