歌詞

When Johnny got the letter It had no return address But he recognized the writing And he didn't have to guess And the postmark said Seattle Just a thousand miles away And so he put it in the drawer For fourteen days Every night he'd take that envelope Hold it up to the light But he never tore it open to see what lay inside He remembered how it hurt The night she turned and walked away So he kept the letter sealed For fourteen days Fourteen days it lay unopened Fourteen days it stayed unread Fourteen nights he dreamed about her In what used to be their bed Though his heart and soul were achin' Johnny's pride got in the way And he kept the letter sealed For fourteen days Then one night he couldn't stand it Johnny took it from the drawer He read the words she'd sent to him Just two short weeks before The tears fell hard as Johnny read The words she had to say "Boy I'm coming home to you in fourteen days" "Dear John: I know I hurt you, but I pray that you'll forgive And if you don't take me back again, then, I don't want to live If you're there when I step off the plane Then I'll be yours, always I arrive at four p.m. in fourteen days." Johnny raced out to the airport On the chance that she might wait But the terminal was empty And he knew he was too late He cursed himself for letting his one true love slip away For a letter that he held for fourteen days Fourteen days it lay unopen Fourteen days it stayed unread Fourteen nights he dreamed about her And the good times that they had And Johnny knew he'd lost her And there was nothing left to say He tore up the note he'd held for fourteen days Now the next day in Seattle The morning headline read "Another Jane Doe Suicide - Young Girl Lying Dead." Scrawled upon the crumpled piece of paper where she lay "I'm coming home to you in fourteen days."
