Dear John - Kirsty MacColl

Oh dear john

I hate to be the one to break the news

But its concerning me and you

This is the letter no-one ever wants to write

You may not believe me but its the hardest thing Ive ever done

My eyes see other glories

Other dreams and other stories

And I want to live before I die

Dear john

Ten years on I still dream and we still hesitate

The passions all but gone

Oh dear john

Seems we have a bad day every day

I want to sleep my life away

This is the letter no-one ever wants to read

And though it hurts like hell

It may be what you need to tell you

I never wanted to be cruel

But Im so tired of being the strong one

And I dont always havet he energy

And you always leave it up to me Dear john

My eyes have seen the glory

Theres more to life than my life story

And Ill probably never find him

But I have to keep on looking

And Im very very sorry dear john
