Letter (Unmailed)

I hold you inside me
Like I swallowed the morning sun
And I sleep ‘neath your slipstream
Dream of you when day is done
The boys wait at your window
Whisper your name in their secret prayers
They all want something for nothing
Some unguarded moment you’ll see them there
I would climb a mountain of sorrow
Never falter or tire
The Devil says true love’s a lie
But, the Devil’s a liar
I would swim a raging sea
If you were in some foreign land
And if it’s Heaven you want to see
I know the way, darlin’, take my hand
Look in your heart, if you see me
Don’t leave me out on the wire
The Devil says true love’s a lie
But, the Devil’s a liar
It’s a cold cold world outside
And these are strange times we’re livin’ in
So, if you are lonesome tonight
Feel like givin’ up, feel like givin’ in
When the party is over
And you’re the one left standing there
And the world just won’t listen
Talk to me, I will hear
I’ll stand by you when you’re tall and strong, weak and uninspired
The Devil says true love’s a lie
But, the Devil’s a liar
The Devil says true love’s a lie
I say the Devil’s a liar
