That Letter - Alan Whitfield

It doesn't make all cloudy days worthwhile It doesn't make much sense to walk that extra mile To assign you properties that are not real And throw all my former knowledge into the field Ooh, ohh, ooh, ooh (Some were born to end this night) Some were born to be a hunter Some were born to move away and never come back Some were born to be a kisser Not even stone, not even rain can kiss like that It doesn't make up time we should have had It only makes hours and minutes go miles To assign you properties that are not true And throw all my better knowing into the blue (Some were born to end this night) Some were born to be a hunter Some were born to move away and never come back Some were born to be a kisser Not even stone, not even rain can kiss like that I never saw it coming I've been driven in the fucking ground I never saw it coming I've been breathing in the fucking ground Some were born to be a hunter Some were born to move away and never come back Keep that letter safe Don't wipe all out that you were here Oh, keep it safe Don't wipe all out that you were here (Some were born to end this night) I never saw it coming I've been driven in the fucking ground (Some were born to end this night) I never saw it coming I've been breathing in the fucking ground Some were born to be a hunter Some were born to move away and never come back Some were born to be a kisser Not even stone, not even rain can kiss like that Some were born to be a kisser Not even stone, not even rain can kiss like that

(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!)

Why are you so quiet As if you got something to hide? And why are you so cold As if you don't want to behold? Why can't you look into my eyes Is it because you're scared to see yourself inside? I really wanna know what it is But how can I when you don't give me a chance Maybe you think I won't understand but I'm here as a friend I wish I could watch your soul To know you better I wish I could read you like a book Letter by letter Why are you so quiet As if you got something to hide? And why are you so cold As if you don't want to behold? Why can't I get through to you Oh, I feel so frustrated †cause I don't know what to do I really wanna know what it is But how can I when you don't give me a chance Maybe you think I won't understand but I'm here as a friend I wish I could watch your soul To know you better I wish I could read you like a book Letter by letter I wish I could watch your soul To know you better I wish I could read you like a book Letter by letter
