I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought You're still the special person for me I know I should reserve that feeling for her But I have fallen down a well of longing I'm in a valley deep inside the earth I'm in a rich vein of learning I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud Just God and tree and star for the journey So listen friend you've got my love and respect Do you believe in the life eternal? I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight Because I knew you when we were so little I knew you when I was a queer fish You were the one they all wanted I showered you with my light from afar Now everyone is following you You're the evening star So many forces are pushing How do you stay so calm? If I could master an hour of your peace Maybe I would know how to let this go I messed up on the practical side I can't believe all the trouble it caused me I tried to make up on the spiritual side My web of prayers and advice implore you To live happy in the best way you can To live with or without me And if I feel like I am wasting my time I'll write another letter to sing To the evening star Evening star I'll write another letter to her Evening star I'll write another letter to her Evening star Another letter to her
