Ballad Of The Unsent Letter - The Moffatts
He said 'We've never been so far apart
As we have right now
But then again doll
We've never been closer '
She said 'No distance
Place or time could ever make me love you less
My smile's a song and you are my composer '
She was in Namibia sleeping underneath the stars
With the lion's roar and guinea fowls a-hooting
He was in the USA and running out of cash
He'd been robbed and he'd overheard a shooting
One night he wrote a letter to explain his inside out
His heart was heavy and somehow he had to vent it
So he filled some motel stationery
With words he couldn't say
Kissed the envelope but never even sent it
He'd claim that he was scared
That it would get lost in the post
In truth he lacked assertiveness and courage
Maybe he'd made promises he wasn't sure he'd keep
And he was terrified of fatherhood and marriage
But he kept the letter tucked inside a book he never read
And back in Glasgow he unpacked and soon he found it
So he delivered it right
There into the hands where it belonged
And said 'I'm yours
And now I know there's no way round it
I've fallen out of bars in all the Western World
Gazed drunkenly at stars as my wanderlust unfurled
I've lain in countless cots
But I've slept in very few
My mind and back's in knots
But every night I dreamt of you
And now I'm home
