Rowena

(альбом: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)

Rowena, my darling, please don't let me down
A few words from you can lift me off the ground
Your letters are treasures, you don't know their worth
Days I don't receive one, I fall back to earth

Rowena, my darling, just a word or two
It means the world to me, those few words from you
But when you don't send them, why can't you see
It's as if the whole world had gone back on me

Tonight when I'm sleeping, I will dream of you
Wishfully thinking, what else can I do
Then in the morning, it's always the same
When dreaming is done, then I call out your name

Tonight when I'm sleeping, I will dream of you
Wishfully thinking, what else can I do
Until tomorrow, I can only hope
For my heart's deliverance in an envelope

Rowena, my dear, yours to hand this a.m.
I'm holding your letter, in heaven again
A few words from me now, to make sure you know
As ever, I'm yours, yes, and I love you so
