[00:00:00] Letter Edged in Black - Brett Young

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:07] I was standing by my window yesterday morning

[00:00:14] Without a thought of worry or of care

[00:00:19] When I saw the postman coming up the pathway

[00:00:25] With such a happy face and jolly air

[00:00:31] He rang the bell and whistled as he waited

[00:00:37] Then he said good morning to you Jack

[00:00:43] But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me

[00:00:49] As he handed me a letter edged in black

[00:00:55] With trembling hand I took this letter from him

[00:01:01] I broke the seal and this is what it said

[00:01:07] Come home my boy your dear old father wants you

[00:01:12] Come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

[00:01:18] The last words that your mother ever uttered

[00:01:24] Was tell my boy I want him to come back

[00:01:30] My eyes are blurred my poor old heart is breaking

[00:01:35] So I'm writing you this letter edged in black

[00:01:41] I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness

[00:01:47] The sunshine of my life it all had fled

[00:01:52] When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning

[00:01:58] Saying come home my boy your dear old mother's dead

[00:02:04] Those angry words I we had naver spoken

[00:02:10] You know I didn't mean them don't you Jack

[00:02:15] Mayby angels bear as witness I am asking

[00:02:21] Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black

[00:02:27] I keep get the post man brought yesterday morning

[00:02:33] Coming up the pathway with his past

[00:02:38] But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me

[00:02:44] As he handed me a letter edged in black
