Last Letter Lyrics

Baby brother

How you doing

It's 11am here and the coffee's still brewing

I've been waiting by the mailbox

For a letter to come my way

It's been 358 days since I heard what you gotta say

I always write you, but I never hear back

You must be busy, still fighting over in Iraq

See my tour finished, but I know it's different cuz it's music

So I'm stuck wishing you would make it back before I lose it

So I say, baby brother, I've been waiting patiently

I can't wait to hold you in my arms again when we meet

But until then, I'll just keep you in my prayers

And this'll be the last letter I send till I see you again

Hey big brother, I've been trying to find the time

To send these letters telling you all about the fight

We almost had 'em, but the table's turned

And now I'm on my own

I'm the last man standing and I'm just hoping I can make it back home

But my canteen's empty and my cover's just been blown

Their footsteps are getting louder and now I'm bleeding from the wounds I've sewn

See they'd send help, but my radio signal is down

My pen is running out of ink and my magazine is almost out

So I say, hey big brother, I've been waiting patiently

I can't wait to hold you in my arms again when we meet

But until then, I'll just keep you in my prayers

And this'll be the last letter I send till I see you again
