So take a letter, Maria
Address it to my wife

And give the number if you
can find it
so I can call just to tell
her I'm fine and to show...

And write myself a letter
And make-believe it came from you

The Letter ~ Joe Cocker

Unknown said...

I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared and our boots aren't muddy,
And they all laugh like there's something funny 'bout the way I talk
When I say, "Mama sends her best y'all."
I fold it up and put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun and go back to work.
And it keeps me drivin' on,
Waitin' on letters from home.

Sylvia said...

Jenny, Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before
But I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination
But I was disturbed

So they went down and they sat on the pier.
He said, "I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care.
I've got noone to send a letter to.
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"

carrie said...

And here's a young girl
On a kind of a telephone line through time
And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend
So I know I'm all right
Life will come and life will go
Still I feel it's all right
'Cause I just got a letter to my soul

(Virginia Woolf, Indigo Girls)

Or give me a call
That would even be better

Ground Control to Major Tom,
commencing countdown, engines on
take your protein pills,
and put your helmet on

Abigail Adams:
I live like a nun in a cloister.
Solitary. Celibate. I hate it.
John Adams:
I live like a monk in an abbey.
Ditto. Ditto. I hate it.
Abigail:
Write to me with sentimental effusion.
Let me revel in romantic illusion.

Sandra Dodd said...

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my [something] and wishes known

(needs or wants, I don't remember--needs makes more sense, but wants would be alliterative with wishes, and real-case I would have a hymnal in my hands)

Spinning Ninny said...

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care

You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You've asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

Please don't cry
I'll say goodbye
And I won't call you anymore

And send it back in time
To myself at seventeen

Lipstick letters 'cross the mirror this morning
Said, "Good-bye, baby."
You left without warning.
Like a thief in the night,
You ran away with my heart.

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Sally said...

Why don't you write me?
I'm out in the jungle,
I'm hungry to hear you!
Send me a card
I've been waiting so hard
To be near you (la, la, la)
Why don't you write?

Deborah in IL said...

I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive
And carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky
In letters that would soar
a thousand feet high
To Sir with love

(That doesn't break into lines very well at all!)
A singer named Lulu, from a movie called "To Sir WIth Love" from the 60's)

You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
