Ron Pope - Writing Letters lyrics

I spend my days writing letters I spend my evenings singing songs The last five years have gone so quickly Someday soon my time will be done And I used to walk in New York City But watch the sunrise east of Tompkins Square Since I've been gone, does the city miss me? I wonder if she hears my call Though I am far away and I am all alone There are parts of me that still are holding on To moments long since pa**ed, and secrets I recall And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore I watch the sky in each new city It's not so different, I see more stars Now I'm counting clouds to calm my feelings Which tend to race away in the dark Though I am far away and I am all alone There are parts of me that still are holding on To moments long since pa**ed, and secrets I recall And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore I don't wanna be or seem like I don't care It just gets hard on me out there But when I dream I'm not in Memphis I'm on my way home on that train And I don't feel so lost and different Lord, the miles, how they cut me deep Though I am far away and I am all alone There are parts of me that still are holding on To moments long since pa**ed, and secrets I recall And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore
