Dear Friend Lyrics

Dear friend, I'm thinking of you

April showers are pouring down

As I sit to write this letter

Spring is coming round

I've been keeping warm with ginger tea

Trying to move the chill in the air

I've been dreaming of weaving

Maytime flowers in my baby's hair

How've you been, how's your lady

Are you writing good poems these days?

I've always liked the one you gave me

Of dead sunflowers in Spain

How'd it go last night in Toronto?

Did you pluck the heart of your cello?

Did you see the woman crying

In the shadows of the back row?

Did you feel your heart beating?

And the whole world breathing?

Late last night I had a dream

I was walking along in a forest

In a clearing ahead there was endless summer

And people singing in chorus

Do you remember when we were kids

Come November we'd greet the winter

We had too much fun to feel the cold

Or worry about getting old

We felt our hearts beating

And the whole world breathing

Even though I'm far away

And the hours get shorter every day

I think of you often, it makes me smile

And the space between us melts away for a while

I feel our hearts beating

And the whole world breathing
