Lyrics

[00:04.86] Katie's been gone since the spring time;
[00:06.93] She wrote one time'n sent her love.
[00:09.72] Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
[00:14.25] I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.
[00:17.39]
[00:18.74] Dear Katie,
[00:20.77] If you can hear me,
[00:22.90] I can't wait to have ya near me.
[00:25.99]
[00:28.29] Oh, Katie, since ya caught that bus,
[00:30.38] Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
[00:35.53] I'm still here and you're out there.
[00:39.00]
[00:41.04] Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
[00:46.94] She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
[00:49.61] Katie said that I was her only one,
[00:53.00] But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
[00:56.11]
[00:57.20] Dear Katie, if I'm the only one,
[01:01.47] How much longer will you be gone?
[01:05.25] Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
[01:09.40] How much longer do I have to wait?
[01:13.17]
[01:14.93] I'll believe you,
[01:16.15] But please come through.
[01:18.94] I know it's wrong to be apart this long;
[01:27.47] You should be here, near me.
[01:33.79]
[01:36.50] Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
[01:45.38] She's gone to find some newer places,
[01:49.17] Left the old life far behind.
[01:52.86] Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
[01:57.29] I dont see why you had to roam.
[02:00.96]
[02:02.01] Dear Katie, since you've been away
[02:05.67] I lose a little something every day
[02:10.27] I need you here, but you're still out there.
[02:14.59] Dear Katie, please drop me a line,
[02:21.34] just write, Love, to tell me you're fine.
[02:22.44]
[02:23.85] Oh, Katie, if you can hear me,
[02:26.73] I just cant wait to have you near me.
[02:31.51] I can only think
[02:32.64] Where are you,
[02:33.69] What ya do, may be there's someone new.
