Cards And Letters
“Cards and Letters” started out as a duet for The Year of Longing Dangerously, but Ali Bartlett, who was supposed to sing on it with me, turned her nose up at a “corny” country two-hander.In frustration I went back and wrote myself some more verses.(Best thing that happened to the record.)
I hope this letter finds you well
Because talking to you is hell.
I try to string three words together but I d-d-dry up.
I guess I’m lucky I can spell.
I’ll let this card show you my heart
Because I don’t know how to start.
I want to pitch the woo but next to you I f-f-freeze up.
I’m scared I’ll shake myself apart.
It hurts to go to bed alone.
I want you with me but I can’t pick up the telephone.
So until I find a way to t-t-talk to you better,
I’ll send a card, I’ll write a letter.
It’s so hard to communicate.
That’s why cards and letters are great.
With pen and paper there’s no chance that I’ll just c-c-clam up.
Face-to-face seems second-rate.
It hurts to go to bed alone.
I want you with me but I can’t pick up the telephone.
So until I find a way to t-t-talk to you better,
I’ll send a card, I’ll write a letter.
