Simon & Garfunkel - Why Don't You Write Me
==========================================

(2:45)
P. Simon, 1969
Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you
Send me a card
I am waiting so hard
To be near you

Why don't you write?
Something is wrong
And I know I got to be there
Maybe I'm lost
But I can't make the cost
Of the airfare

Tell me why, why, why
Tell me why, why, why

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten
My loneliest evening
Mail it today
If it's only to say
That you're leaving me

Monday morning, sitting in the sun
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
Tuesday, never got a word
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign
Drank half a bottle of iodine
Friday, woe is me
Gonna hang my body from the highest tree
Why don't you write me?



in unrelated news, my blog's visits passed the 10,000 mark. it took, mmmmm....less than three years? in the words of sally field, "you like me! you really like me!"

hehehe...well, some of ya do. many, many thanks.
