[00:02.558]Dear friend
[00:04.846]Have you read the thoughts I've sent
[00:09.204]Airmail to your hands in Ireland
[00:15.755]Well there's been something I could not write
[00:22.006]Between words between the lines
[00:29.830]This city ain't kind
[00:36.254]Write back this time
[00:42.943]Dear friend I've never been so scared of winter
[00:49.541]But these winds are tides that pull where I can't swim
[00:56.597]'Cause I realize that I can't quite
[01:04.978]Recognize the sky tonight
[01:11.614]Oh this city ain't kind
[01:18.454]Write back this time
[01:25.022]Dear love I'd sing you a hundred songs
[01:31.470]But these months can barely pick up my guitar
[01:37.662]And all I can write are letters to you
[01:43.662]And slips to the hungry say: I O U
[01:51.398]Oh this city ain't kind
[01:57.925]Write back this time
[02:07.454]Here sidewalks are not meant for all
[02:13.854]I've see who's pushed into the cars
[02:20.059]I never want to write it though
[02:26.419]'Cause what kind of love letters are those
[02:33.842]Dear friend just to survive
[02:37.790]It drives you blind here
[02:40.482]My end is the day I see the dying
[02:47.036]So write me words that mean it's time
[02:54.154]Meet me here and ease my eyes
[03:00.794]Oh sweet sight
[03:07.722]Oh please just send me light
[03:14.363]Write back this time
[03:21.074]Write back this time
