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?
