Found a paper underneath my coat
Folded twice like a secret note
Postmarked from a little county town
A place I thought I''d left behind
There was no name upon the front
Just a faded line from someone I once loved
I held it underneath the porch light
And watched the words come back to life
She wrote about the autumn rain
About the train that passed each day
Said the old house still smelled like pine
And she''d been waiting there sometimes
It was the last letter home
Written in a town I couldn''t face
She said, "I kept the window open
Just in case you found your way"
She said, "The years have changed us both
But some things never leave"
Now I''m holding onto yesterday
Like it still belongs to me
She said the garden lost its flowers
After that first winter storm
Your old chair still sat beside the fire
Though no one sat there anymore
She found the photograph we took
Down by the river in ''89
Said she kept it in the kitchen drawer
And turned it over every night
Then she wrote, "I learned to live alone
I learned the sound of an empty room
But every Sunday when the bells ring
I still look for you"
It was the last letter home
And every line was breaking through
She said, "I never stopped believing
There was something left of you"
She said, "If you ever miss this place
Don''t be afraid to come"
Now I''m staring at those final words
Knowing what I''ve done
The final line was barely there
Written lighter than the rest
"Don''t come looking for me now
I''ve finally found my peace"
Outside, the evening train rolled by
And the whole town seemed to disappear
I folded up that little piece of paper
And realized I wasn''t needed there
It was the last letter home
From a life I couldn''t save
Every word became a doorway
To the choices that I made
She waited till the waiting hurt
Then learned to let me go
Now I''m riding down a highway
With nowhere left to go
It was the last letter home
And I read it one more time
Some goodbyes don''t need a spoken word
They just disappear with time
She found a way to carry on
I found the road instead
Now her name is just a whisper
In the silence up ahead
I folded up that letter
And put it in my chest
Some things you lose forever
Are the things you loved the best
The morning wind came through the trees
And carried off the dust
I watched the empty road ahead
And finally let her go
