Letter Song
Play MP3
I thought today I’d write her a letter
And then I thought this song might be better
A song might sing but a note could upset her
This is till we’re together
Come the day when you are beside me
I won’t need books or brothers to guide me
I’ll use the heart that so mystified me
Until you stole it
Since that day the pain of just waiting
Can show to me love’s stronger than hating
And if I find a thing irritating
I just think of you
I’m not on fire – don’t think I am burning
My love is simply deeper than yearning
It seems to me I’ve just begun learning
I’ve never seen a road so long
Stopping and starting and laughing and crying
We’ll seem to spend a lifetime of trying
Morning and evening, halloing, goodbying
Whatever will the neighbours say?
Though kept apart by mountains and heather
Since we’ve begun to walk it together
The weight can seem as light as a feather
If we just feel it
Ah, lord above, I’ll know if you’re crying
So think of me when life becomes trying
I think of you each moment that’s dying
Come soon, come soon
I thought today I’d write her a letter
And then I thought this song might be better
But can the sound of a song ever get her here?
Can the sound of a song ever get her here?
Can the sound of a song ever get her here?
