Katie's been gone since the spring time; |
|
She wrote one time'n sent her love. |
|
Katie's been gone for such a long time now. |
|
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of. |
|
Dear katie, |
|
If you can hear me, |
|
I can't wait to have ya near me. |
|
Oh, katie, since ya caught that bus, |
|
Well, I just don't know how things are with us. |
|
I'm still here and you're out there. |
|
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely. |
|
She said, there's no need t'feel that way. |
|
Katie said that I was her only one, |
|
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay. |
|
Dear katie, if I'm the only one, |
|
How much longer will you be gone? |
|
Oh, katie, won't ya tell me straight: |
|
How much longer do I have to wait? |
|
I'll believe you, |
|
But please come through. |
|
I know it's wrong to be apart this long; |
|
You should be here, near me. |
|
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind. |
|
She's gone to find some newer places, |
|
Left the old life far behind. |
|
Dear katie, don't ya miss your home? |
|
I don't see why you had to roam. |
|
Dear katie, since you've been away |
|
I lose a little something every day |
|
I need you here, but you're still out there. |
|
Dear katie, please drop me a line, |
|
Just write, love, to tell me you're fine. |
|
Oh, katie, if you can hear me, |
|
I just cant wait to have you near me. |
|
I can only think |
|
Where are you, |
|
What ya do, may be there's someone new. |
