Lyrics

The moon's out tonight it's crisp and it's clear
I start out a letter with an oh my dear
Write the date and then I hold a pen
Scratch the first line and then start again oh my dear
Ah it's well overdue that I wrote to you
Don't think you've been out of my thoughts
For a while I was on a winning streak
Now it's clear that I lost, that I lost
Oh, but I don't want to taste your smoke-stained lips
So let's have a glass of red wine
I know I loved you before this all got started
I know
I'll love you again
I got more than I wanted I was on a roll
I took more than I needed and then I lost the whole
I write to you now I'm broke and I'm broken
With nothing to send but this insignificant token
And it's been a long time since I wrote you a letter
But don't think you've been out of my heart
I'm sitting in what I like to call your kind of weather
It's some old friend's backyard, backyard
Oh, but I don't want to taste your smoke-stained lips
So let's have a glass of red wine
I know I loved you before this all got started
I know
I'll love you again
And I saw you last night in a Hackensack bar
Shooting pool it was thick it was dark
Blinked my eyes and I knew I was wrong
You weren't there and I was just gone
And it's well overdue that I wrote to you
Don't think you've been out of my mind
If I've been spending any time in yours
Please respond in kind, in kind
Oh, but I don't want to taste your smoke-stained lips
So let's have a glass of red wine
I know I loved you before this all got started
I know
I'll love you again
