My Dear

Here in the dawn As I walk through this dream As I have done since ages now gone Shall I read you the letter They sent postmarked from somewhere out here It's in Latin, I think, I don't know Can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear Near to their bed (they never sleep) They sit sipping their tea, watch the sea Move the sand through their heads (sit in their chairs by the bay) Did I show you the marks on the wall Left by captains now dead (house out on the cove) They fell fighting for peace in their lives Or so it is said (still nobody seems to be here) Please, can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear You can't miss it A blue forest on a green sky You must risk it Don't ignore us if you want us to If we want us to survive Where will I be (can't you help me to find my way) After watching them walking the pier At the mouth of the sea (I've been lost for so long) They're in love with the news And don't show if they're living in fear (still nobody seems to be here) They eat ice cream alone Watch the waves at the end of the pier (ah, nobody seems to hear) Please, can you help me, my dear Please, can you help me, my dear --- My Dear - America
