Dear Billy |
Dear Billy, how are you? |
I hope you are well |
The flowers are blooming |
The plants, I can’t really tell |
I see by your letter |
You have no intent to come home |
So I’ll take the kid and the house |
And make out on my own |
Dear Billy, I’m trying |
To say what I feel |
But the feelings are locked up in pain |
I hope you’re enjoying whatever it is |
You are doing in whoever’s name |
The night it runs cold |
And it chills to the soul |
But you wouldn’t know |
What’s the use |
It’s all one to me |
Go ahead and be free |
After all, you got nothing to lose |
I still go to school |
And the kid, she goes too |
We’re learning to silence the fear |
That no one is near |
She calls me «Dear» |
And I wait for you |
What else can I do? |
No, nothing has changed |
It all stays the same |
We all remain ever-faithful |
And someone confused |
Except maybe you |
Who threw the harpoon |
Are you coming back soon? |
Dear Billy, please send |
My regards to your lady |
I wish her well |
And I hope that one day |
We will meet on the far side of hell |
Well the sun’s got the moon |
And the writer his tune |
But I never had nothing 'cept you |
And on the day that you die |
I will sing lullabyes |
In the hopes that you got yours, too |
