It's been so long since I have seen you
And I know you've pushed me out your mind
I take my pen in hand to write you a letter
I hope you read it through in time
When the soil softens in the daytime
And the big oaks' buds start pushing through
When the sun hangs long at the end of the day
Then I'll be coming home to you
When the snow is running down to the river
And it's deepest parts churn black and blue
When the warm wind sweeps through the valley again
Then I'll be coming home to you
It's been so long since I have seen you
And I know you've pushed me out your mind
I take my pen in hand to write you a letter
I hope you read it through in time
