Return To Tender
RETURN TO TENDER
i wrote my lover a letter reading wish you were here
i'm as lonely as a dove whose mate just died
in that letter i make my need for her amply clear
and i would let her know when all my tears are finally dried
being alone like this banishes me tothe boundaries of pain
caught in a trap with with no one to speak with or to
i'm consumed by damnation, disaster and disdain
while it's really not easy to do that which i must do
wishing she were here with me in this place is futile
as I fuss and fight with demons from far below
and not seeing her standing before me is brutal
it brutalizes and bruises me from head to toe
i wrote my lover a letter reading "my sweet, i miss you so"
and if God knows what i should do then please pray tell
if she ever got to read those words i will never know
because they don't have "return receipt requested" in Hell
