Dear Jeffrey - Your Heart Breaks, Clyde Petersen

Dear Dear Jeffrey, oh please tell me

How is New York City?

Do the pretty boys all shine in your light?

Do you stay out all night dancing

Just to watch the sun come rising?

Have you finally found a lover that feels right?

And have you found a way to fight the feeling with each day

That says you’re not worth a damn thing, just go die?

And have you found a way to hold the feeling with each night

That says you’re finally free to love, just go try?

Dear Jeffrey oh please tell me

You still write poetry

While waiting for the subway home each night

Are they songs for your lost father

A sonnet for your new lover

Does it still bring you joy to write?

Like a piece of twine, we co-exist

Though its been some time since we did twist

And turn the streets of the lower east side

Few and far apart these days

I hope you know that I do take

Time to let you tumble round my mind

And I hope you’ve found a way to fight the feeling with each day

That says you’re not worth a damn thing, just go die

And I hope you’ve found a way to hold the feeling with each night

That says you’re finally free to love, just go try

Dear Dear Jeffrey, oh please tell me

How is New York City?

Do the pretty boys all shine in your light?
