Eddi Reader Dear John
Oh, dear John I hate to be the one to break the news But it's concerning me and you This is the letter no one ever wants to write You may not believe me But it's the hardest thing I've ever done My eyes see other glories Other dreams and other stories And I want to live before I die, dear John
Ten years on I still dream and we still hesitate The passion's all but gone Oh, dear John Seems we have a bad day every day I want to sleep my life away This is the letter no one ever wants to read And though it hurts like hell It may be what you need to tell you I never wanted to be cruel But I'm so tired of being the strong one And I don't always have the energy And you always leave it up to me, John
My eyes have seen the glory There's more to life than my life story And I'll probably never find him But I have to keep on looking And I'm very very sorry, dear John
