letter from America

When you go will you send back
A letter from America
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada well
Broke off from my work the other day
I spent the evening thinking about
All the blood that flowed away
Across the ocean to the second chance
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land
When you go will you send back
A letter from America
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada well
Ive looked at the ocean(doo doo doo doo doo)
Tried hard to imagine(doo doo doo doo doo)
The way you felt the day you sailed(doo doo doo doo doo)
From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia(doo doo doo doo doo)
We should have held you(doo doo doo doo doo)
We should have told you
But you know our sense of timing
We always wait too long
When you go will you send back
A letter from America
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Blood I wonder my blood(ha ha)
Will you ever return(ha ha)
To help us kick the life back(ha ha)
To a dying mutual friend(ha ha)
(Doo bee bee) do we not love her(ha ha)
(Doo bee bee) do we not say we love her(ha ha)
Do we have to roam the world
To prove how much it hurts
When you go will you send back
A letter from America
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
Go back oh oh oh oh
