Letter Never Sent

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

It's been pretty simple so far  vacation in Athens is calling me 
And knock  knock  knock on wood  I thought I'd left you behind 
Heaven is yours  heaven is yours  heaven's yours where I live 

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home 
This letter never sent 
And it's so far  it's so dark  I'm so lost 
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live 
(Another story  another story for a while  someone show me) 
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address? 

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in 
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark 

And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost 
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far 

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live 
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me) 
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live 
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
