Letter from Rosie

作曲：Vidana A.

Found it folded in my saddle bag

Paper worn and the ink run black

Postmarked dated near a month ago

from a town I used to know

And I start shaking as I read your name

Rosie Lord it hit like rain

I broke that seal with a heavy hand

Didn't know if I could stand

Every word felt like a ghost

from the girl I love the most

It was a letter from Rosie

Saying why'd you leave me this way

Said the nights got cold and lonely

and the sky felt the same

She wrote I waited by that old porch light

Hoping you'd come back one day

Now I'm holding words from yesterday that came

Too late to stay

She said the town still speaks my name

but not like it did before I left

Said my shadow never left those streets

even though I chose to leave

Your old coat still hangs by the door

boot marks faded on the floor

I kept your side of the bed untouched

Got that line hurt too much ever since

Cut so deep like promises I couldn't keep

It was a letter from Rosie

Saying I tried to understand

said she prayed I'd find my own way back

But life don't follow plans

She wrote if you ever read this note

just know I gave my heart

Now I'm holding what's left of us

Last one said don't come back for me

I'm already where you used to be

Church bells rang in the distance slow

And suddenly I knew I was too late to go

It was a letter from Rosie

From a world I can't return

Every word a quiet goodbye

every page a lesson learned

She waited long as she could wait

but time don't ever bend

Now I'm riding with her memory

Don't know how to end

Folded that letter held it to my chest

like I could bring her back to rest

But the wind just took what I couldn't say

and carried her name away
