The girl writes on the last page |
| [00:20.85] |
And the pencil is nearly dry |
| [00:24.54] |
There can't be no mistakes |
| [00:26.72] |
'Cause these words will be final |
| [00:28.78] |
He's been waiting for a letter for days |
| [00:33.49] |
The inspiration is gone, |
| [00:36.74] |
the wind flew away |
| [00:41.67] |
All the trees that once were green |
| [00:45.01] |
Are all ready for bed |
| [00:51.23] |
All the greats symphonies, |
| [00:55.01] |
all the great poems and books |
| [00:59.13] |
They've been sung, they've been said, |
| [01:01.97] |
they've been written |
| [01:03.17] |
And they have been read |
| [01:06.83] |
Close you eyes fold your hands I can see you are tired |
| [01:10.89] |
Let him wait just another day more |
| [01:15.23] |
He won't die, he won't cry still the night may be sad |
| [01:19.20] |
But it's better with nothing than bad |
| [01:26.26] |
The sun flirts with the ocean |
| [01:29.91] |
And soon a whole new day will rise |
| [01:33.89] |
Smile to the paper, lay down your hand |
| [01:37.60] |
I am sure he will understand |
| [01:42.41] |
Lick the envelope, put a stamp on the corner |
| [01:49.46] |
And I promise you that it won't be long |
| [01:53.70] |
Before the letter is finally there |
| [02:48.35][01:59.79] |
All the greats symphonies, |
| [02:51.60][02:03.54] |
all the great poems and books |
| [02:54.97][02:07.69] |
They've been sung, they've been said, |
| [02:58.64][02:10.45] |
they've been written |
| [02:59.81][02:11.77] |
And they have been read |
| [03:03.77][02:15.32] |
Close you eyes fold your hands I can see you are tired |
| [03:07.88][02:19.54] |
Let him wait just another day more |
| [03:12.06][02:23.59] |
He won't die, |
| [03:12.76][02:24.50] |
he won't cry still the night may be sad |
| [03:15.87][02:27.55] |
But it's better with nothing than bad... |
| [03:22.84] |
better with nothing than bad... |
