Lyrics:
Dear Diary
Something good happened today
He finally called me by my name
I didn't know how to behave
What to say or do
I was so confused
I was waiting in the back seat of the car
When I knew I'd given up
Down one of the back streets by the park
So sick of the taste of blood
I'm
It's that time of year again
To get some paper and a pen
And write your Christmas letter to St. Nick
Send it to the North Pole
To his workshop in
of school, you stopped holding my hand
The day the streets opened wide, stole my letters, talked you out and inside
But you love the nightlife, always a new
Catch a glimpse of anything that passes by your sight
From where you sit find confidence
In the blurring of the lines
At every station
Open my eyes so you can see I turn the corner before you turn on me you look so guilty you look so fine don't write me a letter cause I already read
away
You give me strength to carry on
Until the final day is done
This hell, this hell is where we live and die
We fall, comrades by our side
We pray
In a letter to every president, congressman
Career politician
Scrawled in spite across the envelope
With all of our conviction
It only took a few
I meant what I said
You're too young to love me like you do
As those letters you penned
So heartfelt, so reverent
Only proved
Lovers come and go
on the floor
Floored by the letters and the council rigmarole
What I wouldn't do to get you out this hole
For tonight I gotta let go
But tonight you gotta
of your rope
Got a letter 'bout a month ago from control
They say we're coming down hard
We locked our keys in our cars
Or got booted at bars and now
me
With the only letter that you kept
In a wooden box
By where you slept
It was the written proof, it wasn't fate
He was a waste of time, now it's
I used to write in notebooks
I used to read maps
I used to send letters
I used to take naps
But everything changes
And so did I
It's not
I was waiting by myself
It took a whole lot of years
To find you
So I could write this song
If you write me a letter from the shelf
Everyone
Rocky, I'm writing you this letter
I'm in the Sunset Home
My grand kids went and put me here
They got everything I own
I know you're out in
Lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he
Someone found a letter you wrote me
On the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole
In your old brown
clear to know
Want a direction we would go and that's what we call His grace
And we're still here
No more letters in them bottles, message still clear
long way that begins with school days,
When little fingers blur under the tears
That fall on the crooked letters
And the earliest wound, when
a love like that
Yeah, I want a love like that
As a matter of fact
I want a love like that
If I’m cornered by a grizzly bear
Shake his paw and get me
Soon
The near parade will find us
Soon
The fall-by-the-way may bind us
Tongue and groove, body and fender
The weight of your world is splendor
Lean back into the wind
It's an empty cold outside
I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find
Accompanied by just a couple of words
He takes directions from the way the wind blows
He's attracted by the way that she steps on
He keeps looking and she knows
Never used to get
We arrive and are blinded
By twisted rubble and piercing light
Screaming sounds of the sirens
Rip through the air on this sleepless night
Take
