Dear Corinne

Dear Corrine
On the third, got your letter from the first
I've been so tired
But now I'm fine
I've got a bar, said he's swell
Said he takes his time telling folks to go to hell
With a handlebar riding across his face
Should the medicine fail me today
Send a prayer, if you can, my way
If my body breaks, then my heart you'll take this time
Without you, its hard to sleep
It's a wooden shack but it's mine and its cheap
And a half a block from the job I got
Oh, hey my doll, did you hear?
Mother's a mess and we all live in fear
And nature, she's gonna take her course
And when the night falls black over me
And the moon crawls over the sea
If my body breaks, then my heart you'll take this time
Dear Corrine, won't you send me your love?
Tie a note to the foot of a dove
If my body breaks, then my heart you'll take this time
Darling, did you get the money?
Twenty three dollars is all I could manage today
Will that be okay?
Went to the beach just yesterday
Hope its nice when you make it out this way, Corrine
The sand was warm on my feet
But when the night falls black over me
And the moon crawls over the sea
If my body breaks, then my heart you'll take this time
And if the wind rushes into my bones, picks me up and delivers me home
And if my body breaks, then my heart you'll take this time
