lyrics

It’s been three weeks in some old valley, a small town on the verge
Of wasting away into nothing, I’ve got a few more things to learn
I’m hoping that She’ll write me, and the lord knows I’ve sent a few
It’s lonely here in this valley, and I’ve been missing you

You said you’d send me a long one, but it’s been three months too long
And I’m waiting on a letter that will never come
I just needed something to keep me hangin on
I’m still waiting on a letter that will never come

I walk down to the mailbox at noon every day
Just hoping that the post man will walk on down this way
When he does, it’s only for some bills and credit cards
Or some useless romance magazine for another broken heart

You said you’d send me a long one, but it’s been three months too long
And I’m waiting on a letter that will never come
I just needed something to keep me hangin on
I’m still waiting on a letter that will never come

Maybe I’m being much too forward, but all these letters tend not to write themselves
All I want for you to tell me that everything’s going well

Well I suppose if you don’t write me, I can carry on
I’m used to expecting letters that don’t ever come
I just needed someone, and sometimes I still do
I’m just waiting on a letter, that will never come
