Love Letter

Now here's a picture of me, writing you a love letter,
 To make me feel better, 'cause I'm so far from home.
 Now, it seems like forever since the last time I saw you,
 And I'd sure like to call you 'cause I feel so alone.
 Now, it's another cold city but the same old hotel room.
 They all look the same to me after a while.
 A bed and a window over some dirty alley,
 Looking on to the streets meeting nobody's smile.
 Now every telephone says, "Hold the line",
 Like the preachers did when I was just a kid;
 And it's strange how it still touches me after all this time.
 They said, "Keep your light shining brightly".
 And I just can't take it lightly; I'm still trying to find it.
 Now, every evening brings another show,
 To empty faces screaming over too much beer.
 And what they find to talk about I guess I'll never, ever know.
 But I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't regret it.
 Just one more town and then I can forget?
 It's a picture of me writing you a love letter,
 To make me feel better 'cause I've been feeling low.
 Hey, it seems like forever since the last time I saw you,
 But it won't be much longer, now, look out, honey,
 You know I'm coming on home!
