David, you don't do much singing these days
And your letters all say the same thing
The days melt into each other
With the pills you're currently taking
David, I hope you don't mind
That I'm borrowing one of your songs
But I got them wrong
I'm Ben, I'm feeling much better
Than I ever felt before
So - thanks for your typewritten letter
But I don't feel like singing anymore
I'm hearing your album just now, for the first time
You don't sound like anyone else
I'm taking my pills and good care of myself
David, I hope you will write some more songs soon
And I hope I'll write some more too
I hope we'll write some together
In the way that you said we would do
David, I hope you don't mind
That I'm borrowing one of your songs
But I got them wrong
On Saturday I was plain beat
But I love and feel like Jock Stein
