Please Read the Letter - Robert Plant

My love, my love, my love, how could you do this to me My love, my love, my love, you were supposed to be And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself My love, my love, my love, how could you do this to me My love, my love, my love, you're not enough for me And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself But all I have is your letter read And I cannot get it out of my head And I'm afraid, and I can't breathe, And I'm in love with you But you are not with me And I have put so much into a life I made too much about you now to lie My love, my love, my love, how could you do this to me My love, my love, my love, you're not enough for me And I shouldn't have to tell you to explain yourself But all I have is your letter read And I cannot get it out of my head And all I have is your letter read, And I cannot get it out of my head 'Cause I'm afraid, and I can't breathe, And I'm in love with you But you are not with me 'Cause I have put so much into a life I made too much about you now to lie Time passes by while I wait for your call Time passes by; I hear nothing at all And I'm afraid, and I can't breathe, And I'm in love with you But you are not with me And I have put so much into a life I made too much about you now to lie I'm afraid, and I can't breathe, and I'm in love with you But you are not with me And I have put so much into a life I made too much about you now to lie I'm afraid, and I can't breathe, and I'm in love with you But you are not with me

(Me and Elizabeth are gonna sing this song about the letter that Johnny Walker read, hit it boy!) Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar Minding his own affairs Drinking his namesake over the rocks He was drunk, too drunk to care When a girl from the bar walked up beside him And this is what she said She said, "A woman came by with a letter for you" And this is what the letter said (the singing letter) "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (Rrread that!) Then John, he got up from the table Slowly, so slowly he walked outside You know, he was thinking of his wife and his 12 little children back at home And how his drinking had ruined their lives (now folks, here is where it gets really really sad) Then John, he stared off into that street light And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread For you see folks, it was him lying drunk there in the gutter (all covered with flies and stuff) Clutching in his little own hand the letter that Johnny Walker read And this here is what it said "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (here we go!) "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (Right!)

Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' Oh I can't use nothin'
