Hi My Love

[Verse 1]

She's getting all dressed up

It's their second date

Hopeful romantic, draped in pearls and lace

Kisses in the taxi, cause he wouldn't wait

Called her a silk screen and watched her play

[Pre-Chorus]

Amen

She's telling herself lies

Amen

In the back of the car making herself cry

[Chorus]

Hi my love, it's been a year since we last spoke

How's it all going?

I miss dancing on the earth before I noticed it spinning

I've been thinking about that night in July down the by the river

She was beautiful, til you made her a sinner

[Verse 2]

She's getting all dressed up to break her own heart

Could you make her feel better and forget who you are

You never saw her light a candle in the dark

And burnt down the theatre, you couldn't play your part

[Pre-Chorus]

Amen

She was trying to save him

Amen

Now she needs saving

[Chorus]

Hi my love, it's been a year since we last spoke

How's it all going?

I miss dancing on the earth before I noticed it spinning

I've been thinking about that night in July down by the river

She was beautiful til you made her a sinner

[Bridge]

All the love you couldn't give her

Put her in a pretty picture

Spend a lifetime missing her

[Chorus]

Hi my love it's been a year since we last spoke

How's it all going

How's your brother, and the old house

Did you quit smoking?

God, I really hope you find someone half as devoted

Live your life as a poem, I'll live mine as a poet
