Tear Stained Letter歌词

作词 : Cash
作曲 : Johnny Cash
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter

I'm gonna mail it straight to you.

I'm gonna bring back to your mind
What you said about always bein' true.

Bout our secret hidin' places
Bein' daily satisfied.

I can see you sittin' and readin' it
While you hang you head and cry.

I just hope you're not so sad
You're gonna go down suicide.
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

Put it special delivery.

'Cause it's gonna be full of stuff
That's only known to you and me.
'Bout how every time I get turned on
You turn me off and bring me down.

It'll be about the darkest news
That ever did arrive in your hometown.

It'll be about the saddest thing
Your mailman ever did bring around.
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter

I'm gonna tell you one more time.

That you still could reconsider

And come back to bein' mine.
An' if you think about what I'm sayin'

It'd be hard to refuse.

Just be sure you think a long time
On the answer that you choose.

It will be a most important piece
Of personal private news.

I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

Mark it ＂Personal Private News.＂

An' I hope you'll keep it to yourself
An' don't go 'round cryin' the blues.
Givin' off a bad impression

As to what went really wrong.

When what it was was that suddenly

The music was all gone.

And this man and this woman got cut off
In the middle of our song.
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter:

I'm gonna put it to a tune.

So I'll be sendin' with it
A sweet melody for you.

And not some red-hot upbeat zinger

That'll set your body on fire.

But a hunk of love included

Meant to take you a little higher.

And to settle on your sweet sweet mind

At night when you retire.
I'm gonna write a tear stained letter.
