| Dear little devil, how’s tricks these days
|
| I didn’t write, didn’t know what to say
|
| Do you still sleep with the sun in your face
|
| Sheets wet from fever, dreams force you awake
|
| Dear little colonel, one foot in the grave
|
| Fighting the war with an unsteady aim
|
| Is that the goal, to create your crusade
|
| With nothing for no one, so no one is saved
|
| Or safe
|
| You never really say you will
|
| But never say you won’t
|
| The world must be a funny place
|
| When you can’t let go
|
| You can’t ask for forgiveness if you think you must atone
|
| For what you know
|
| Dear little valentine, how is your nose
|
| Keeping it clean, I sure doubt, but I hope
|
| How is your head, mister, how are your toes
|
| Do you still miss me when nights get too cold
|
| You never really say you do
|
| But never say you don’t
|
| The world must be an awful place
|
| When you can’t let go
|
| You can’t see what you’re made of if you think you’re made of stone
|
| And all alone
|
| And every time you say you will
|
| You prove to me you won’t
|
| Your world is such a lovely place
|
| Still, I can’t let go
|
| I can’t see what you’re made of if you think you must atone
|
| For what you know
|
| And what you don’t |
