Ballad Of The Unsent Letter - The Moffatts[00:00:00]

He said 'We've never been so far apart[00:00:11]

As we have right now [00:00:16]

But then again doll [00:00:19]

We've never been closer '[00:00:22]

She said 'No distance [00:00:27]

Place or time could ever make me love you less [00:00:29]

My smile's a song and you are my composer '[00:00:36]

She was in Namibia sleeping underneath the stars [00:00:44]

With the lion's roar and guinea fowls a-hooting [00:00:52]

He was in the USA and running out of cash [00:01:01]

He'd been robbed and he'd overheard a shooting [00:01:08]

One night he wrote a letter to explain his inside out [00:01:16]

His heart was heavy and somehow he had to vent it [00:01:24]

So he filled some motel stationery[00:01:33]

With words he couldn't say [00:01:37]

Kissed the envelope but never even sent it [00:01:40]

He'd claim that he was scared[00:01:49]

That it would get lost in the post [00:01:52]

In truth he lacked assertiveness and courage [00:01:57]

Maybe he'd made promises he wasn't sure he'd keep[00:02:06]

And he was terrified of fatherhood and marriage [00:02:13]

But he kept the letter tucked inside a book he never read[00:02:21]

And back in Glasgow he unpacked and soon he found it [00:02:29]

So he delivered it right[00:02:37]

There into the hands where it belonged[00:02:40]

And said 'I'm yours[00:02:45]

And now I know there's no way round it [00:02:47]

I've fallen out of bars in all the Western World [00:02:54]

Gazed drunkenly at stars as my wanderlust unfurled [00:03:02]

I've lain in countless cots[00:03:10]

But I've slept in very few [00:03:14]

My mind and back's in knots[00:03:18]

But every night I dreamt of you[00:03:22]

And now I'm home[00:03:30]
