Letter To My Love

It's strange the way my heartbeat seems to falter
Each time my weary boot heels lead me home
For between us lies a distance time can't alter
I'm afraid when I return that you'll be gone

So darling I'm writing you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly it will tell you
That though I'm gone I still remember you

I'm sorry if my leaving made you doubt me
Made you sorry for the things you used to say
And I hope that you remembered what I asked you
And kept your promise while I was away

Yes darling I'm writing you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly it will tell you
That though I'm gone I still remember you

Please tie your long black hair with bright blue ribbon
Keep it high until the day that I come home
And when my wandering's finished and I'm with you
Loose it, let it dangle in the morning sun

Darling I've written you this letter
As the evening mist is turning blue
If you read it slowly it will tell you
That though I'm gone I still remember you
