Love Letter

Now here's a picture of me, writing you a love letter, To make me feel better, 'cause I'm so far from home. Now, it seems like forever since the last time I saw you, And I'd sure like to call you 'cause I feel so alone. Now, it's another cold city but the same old hotel room. They all look the same to me after a while. A bed and a window over some dirty alley, Looking on to the streets meeting nobody's smile. Now every telephone says, "Hold the line", Like the preachers did when I was just a kid; And it's strange how it still touches me after all this time. They said, "Keep your light shining brightly". And I just can't take it lightly; I'm still trying to find it. Now, every evening brings another show, To empty faces screaming over too much beer. And what they find to talk about I guess I'll never, ever know. But I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't regret it. Just one more town and then I can forget â?¦ It's a picture of me writing you a love letter, To make me feel better 'cause I've been feeling low. Hey, it seems like forever since the last time I saw you, But it won't be much longer, now, look out, honey, You know I'm coming on home! --- Love Letter - Stan Rogers
