Lyrics Stan Rogers – Love Letter

Now, it’s another cold city but the same old hotel room
They all look the same to me after a while
A bed and a window over some dirty alley
Looking on to the streets meeting nobody’s smile
Now every telephone says, «Hold the line»
Like the preachers did when I was just a kid
And it’s strange how it still touches me after all this time
They said, «Keep your light shining brightly»
And I just can’t take it lightly; I’m still trying to find it
Now, every evening brings another show
To empty faces screaming over too much beer
And what they find to talk about I guess I’ll never, ever know
But I’m leaving tomorrow and I don’t regret it
Just one more town and then I can forget?
It’s a picture of me writing you a love letter
To make me feel better ’cause I’ve been feeling low
Hey, it seems like forever since the last time I saw you
But it won’t be much longer, now, look out, honey
You know I’m coming on home!
