Song Lyrics

Said if you're reading this then I'm gone
But boy I've had you on my mind, and I had to take the time
And let you know I've always loved you despite the things that you did or do
I've had you in my heart, I've carried you in my heart
And every winter I remember us on frozen Salem streets
I still see our shadows in the snow
Lost and lonely, seventeen

I got your letter today
It read to me like a song
Just twenty six and gone

And you know it's been so long since I heard that Code 7 one
61C in your front seat, cassette tapes from you to me
We could drive to Pittsburg and see a show, some local bands you know
Your cigarette smoke in my lungs, choking the things that made life numb

And you said sometimes you'd see us there the way we used to be
Two shadows cast on the city
Lost and lonely, you and me

And you asked me to reply just to keep you in my mind
And you wrote of sleepless nights spent wondering
What I'd seen and what I'd done through all those years
That flew right by us like the wind

I got your letter today

Nathaniel James Rufus, Robert Hollis Rufus
