We took the Oiler into the Persian Gulf
When "The Red Gazearound Butterfly" came
I had time, yeah I had time
Oh, I had time to think of us two

I can see the pattern I can see the colour
Of love & disgrace & honour
I just needed to make you proud some day
Before you finally went away

This is the letter I never wrote you
This is the letter you never wrote me too, oooh
When the winter comes do you still not feel the cold
Or are you getting old, old
I´m not on the accusing end of the line
I´m just reminiscing time, reminiscing time
Reminiscing time, reminiscing time

I held you like a hero inside of me
Didn´t matter what anyone said I just couldn´t see
You didn´t fight for me like I fought for you
& as years went by we fell through

This is the letter I never wrote you
This is the letter you never wrote me too, oooh
When the winter comes do you still not feel the cold
Or are you getting old, old
I´m not on the accusing end of the line
I´m just reminiscing time, reminiscing time
Reminiscing time, reminiscing time

When I look in the mirror I can see your eyes
I see them when I´m low & when I´m high
But the strength I´ve got I made on my own
Still I see your eyes in my son

This is the letter I never wrote you
This is the letter you never wrote me too, oooh
When the winter comes do you still not feel the cold
Or are you getting old, old
I´m not on the accusing end of the line
I´m just reminiscing time, reminiscing time
Reminiscing time, reminiscing time

So if you´re feeling down thinking you´ve done wrong
& you want all those years to come back along
Don´t don´t don´t don´t
