The Last Letter is a quiet, devastating story ballad about the question a found letter asks thirty years too late, when the man who wrote it has been gone eleven years and can't answer for it anymore. Was it love he couldn't speak or goodbye he couldn't say out loud. Some things you just don't get to know. - Original by Saddle Storms. 🎵 More from Saddle Storms: YouTube:    / @saddlestorms   Website: https://saddlestorms.com Feel the Wild. See the Art.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I found it in the cedar box behind the winter coats The ink had gone to brown, the crease worn through the fold Three pages front and back in his left-leaning handwriting Dated March of ninety-four — the year he let me go [Verse 2] I read the opening line about a dozen times Before I let myself read the rest clear through He said he wrote it but he couldn't bring himself to send it And now I'm standing here not knowing what is true [Chorus] Was it love he couldn't speak Or was it goodbye he couldn't say out loud I've been holding it for thirty years not knowing Which one would've hurt the most to have found out The last letter never sent The last letter never sent [Verse 3] My hands are shaking like it's still that March of ninety-four Like time didn't do what time was supposed to do I folded it back careful on the same worn crease lines And laid it in that cedar box like it was something new [Chorus] Was it love he couldn't speak Or was it goodbye he couldn't say out loud I've been holding it for thirty years not knowing Which one would've hurt the most to have found out The last letter never sent The last letter never sent [Bridge] He's been gone eleven years now Gone the way that good men go And I'll go to my grave without the answer Some things you just don't get to know [Outro - slow fade] The last letter... Never sent...
