I never get a letter from you.
by Ryan NardiI never get a letter from you.
I never know just what I'm sposed to do.
I never get a messenger,
a red alert,
or little bird.
No, I never get a letter from you.
I don't know what address to put on mine.
I just talk out loud and close my eyes.
Sometimes I think you're talking back.
Sometimes I think my head is cracked.
I never get a letter from you.
The bushes that I pass are all the same.
Drying in the sun but none in flames.
I looked off of a mountain top,
but all there was was space to drop.
I never catch a sight nor sound of you.
I never get a letter from you.
