I got your
letter in the mail
Throwin' off
my sense of scale
I felt you
touch my heart today
But the
postmark says you’re far away.
Across the
fields and desserts wide
The
mountains in the western sky
Out where the
sun sets on the sea
So very far
away from me.
Shadows fall upon my hand
Movin' west across the land
You’re only
half way through your day
When I put
my dinner dish away.
As lonely as
I’ve ever been
I long to
hear your voice again
So I called
you just to let you know
I miss you
and I love you so.
The farther
I go down the track
The more
time I spend lookin back
I wander
through my memories
More
precious now than gold to me
I close my
eyes and I recall
When I was
young and you were small
You know I
miss those times back then
But today
you brought them back again.
I got your
letter in the mail
Throwin off
my sense of scale
It made me
happy it made me sad
To read
those words "I love you dad."
The heart, the
brain, the soul and the hand of folk music can be found in Transatlantic Sessions.
This one also reminds me of my daddy, my strongest root.
