Letter To Anne-marie


(McDonald / McAlinden)
Your letter got here this morning
With a bill and a bailiff's warning
Your postcard's pinned in my kitchen
My letter's ready for sending
Sensations and views, a parcel of news,
And I feel that I'm there
Weary and blue, my missive to you --
I could be there
Chance and adventure love you
Chance and adventure
Dear Anne-Marie,
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to
I'm still content,
Dear Anne-Marie,
To stay at home and pay the rent
Wake up, alarm clock, run to the bus stop
Nine to five work block, queue in another shop
Your camel's wairing at the oasis,
Crieff to Cairo, kick over the traces
You're missing the cold and you're missing the rain,
King's Cafe and me
Staying at home and watching TV
Christ, Anne-Marie!
Chance and adventure love you
Chance and adventure
Dear Anne-Marie,
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to
I'm still content,
Dear Anne-Marie,
To stay at home and pay the rent
Dear Anne-Marie,
I should have come along with you
