Letter To Anne-Marie

(McDonald / McAlinden)
Your letter got here this morning
With a bill and a bailiff's warning
Your postcard's pinned in my kitchen
My letter's ready for sending
Sensations and views, a parcel of news
And I feel that I'm there
Weary and blue, my missive to you --
I could be there
Chance and adventure love you...
Chance and adventure
Dear Anne-Marie
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to
I'm still content
Dear Anne-Marie
To stay at home and pay the rent
Wake up, alarm clock, run to the bus stop
Nine to five work block, queue in another shop
Your camel's wairing at the oasis
Crieff to Cairo, kick over the traces
You're missing the cold and you're missing the rain
King's Cafe and me
Staying at home and watching TV...
Christ, Anne-Marie!
Chance and adventure love you...
Chance and adventure
Dear Anne-Marie
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to
I'm still content
Dear Anne-Marie
To stay at home and pay the rent
Dear Anne-Marie
I should have come along with you
