Eddi Reader - Dear John Lyrics
Oh, dear JohnI hate to be the one to break the newsBut it’s concerning me and youThis is the letter no one ever wants to writeYou may not believe meBut it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever doneMy eyes see other gloriesOther dreams and other storiesAnd I want to live before I die, dear JohnTen years onI still dream and we still hesitateThe passion’s all but goneOh, dear JohnSeems we have a bad day every dayI want to sleep my life awayThis is the letter no one ever wants to readAnd though it hurts like hellIt may be what you need to tell youI never wanted to be cruelBut I’m so tired of being the strong oneAnd I don’t always have the energyAnd you always leave it up to me, JohnMy eyes have seen the gloryThere’s more to life than my life storyAnd I’ll probably never find himBut I have to keep on lookingAnd I’m very very sorry, dear John
