I wrote a letter on a nothing day
I asked somebody "Could you send my letter away?"
"You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope"
I said goodbye to someone that i love
It`s not just me, I tell you it`s both of us
And it was hard
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
Upon her face, you may think you`re alone but you may think again
If I could do just one near prefect thing I`d be happy
They`d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second throughts I`d rather hange about and
be there with my best friend
If she wants me
And far away somebody read the letter
He condecends to read the words I wrote about him
And if he smiles, it`s no more than a genius deserves
for all his curious nerve and his passion
I`m going deaf, you`re growing melancholy
Things fall apart, I don`t know why we bother at all
But life is good and "It`s always worth living at least for a while"
If I could do just one near prefect thing I`d be happy
They`d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second throughts I`d rather hange about and
be there with my best friend
If she wants me
If you think to yourself " What should I do now?"
Then take the bar-ton girl, you better run with it
There is no point in standing in the past cause it`s over and done with
I took the book and went into the forest
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home.
