《Ballad Of The Unsent Letter》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of The Unsent Letter - The Moffatts

[00:00:11] He said 'We've never been so far apart

[00:00:16] As we have right now

[00:00:19] But then again doll

[00:00:22] We've never been closer '

[00:00:27] She said 'No distance

[00:00:29] Place or time could ever make me love you less

[00:00:36] My smile's a song and you are my composer '

[00:00:44] She was in Namibia sleeping underneath the stars

[00:00:52] With the lion's roar and guinea fowls a-hooting

[00:01:01] He was in the USA and running out of cash

[00:01:08] He'd been robbed and he'd overheard a shooting

[00:01:16] One night he wrote a letter to explain his inside out

[00:01:24] His heart was heavy and somehow he had to vent it

[00:01:33] So he filled some motel stationery

[00:01:37] With words he couldn't say

[00:01:40] Kissed the envelope but never even sent it

[00:01:49] He'd claim that he was scared

[00:01:52] That it would get lost in the post

[00:01:57] In truth he lacked assertiveness and courage

[00:02:06] Maybe he'd made promises he wasn't sure he'd keep

[00:02:13] And he was terrified of fatherhood and marriage

[00:02:21] But he kept the letter tucked inside a book he never read

[00:02:29] And back in Glasgow he unpacked and soon he found it

[00:02:37] So he delivered it right

[00:02:40] There into the hands where it belonged

[00:02:45] And said 'I'm yours

[00:02:47] And now I know there's no way round it

[00:02:54] I've fallen out of bars in all the Western World

[00:03:02] Gazed drunkenly at stars as my wanderlust unfurled

[00:03:10] I've lain in countless cots

[00:03:14] But I've slept in very few

[00:03:18] My mind and back's in knots

[00:03:22] But every night I dreamt of you

[00:03:30] And now I'm home
