It’s a letter

Lyrics

It’s a letter

(He): It is a letter from the tropics
with the smell of coconut
mixed with wild fresh lemon
And now I read what I’ve got

She ask me
(She): ‘are the kids alright’
is it better with your life
hopefully you come and see me
I wait till you arrive
here in the summer, here at the beach
I lay around, close my eyes dream that you are here
send you my thoughts, hope they reach
you – my wish is very clear

It is a letter from the tropics
It’s a bolt from the blue
memories awake
How can you hurt me like you do

(He): I tried so very hard to forget you
and I thought that it was gone
fought my personal war,
I made it, everything well done
here in my kitchen, far away from you
think about these torture words here in my hands
high tension pulse-beat, mental screw
my heart down in my pants

It is a letter from the tropics
It’s a bolt from the blue
memories awake
How can you hurt me like you do
