Dear Loretta Lyrics

Dear Loretta

Why do you hang your head down so low

I wish you would grow

I've seen pictures

Of your life in the next and I don't like them

Any more than you

So just hold true

We'll see this through

I've held sorrow

For as long as I can see in the past

I hope this won't last

Don't grow cold now

For it's warm out there just come in

You're wearing thin

Don't grow long

I fear you're gone

Now you are wanting and I am waiting for something better to come along

If we were younger we'd not be here trying to make it on our own

Now I am lonely and I am wandering looking for some place to roam

If you'd only try dear we'd not be here trying to make it on our own

On our own own own

On our own own own

So now I am left here cold and lonely lost without a single friend

And it seems the time's near for all we've waited to come back down here and lay to rest

In all the years that there's been silence in those times I must confess

That if I stay here too much longer I will be out on my own

On my own own own

On my own own own

Now I am hoping that someday maybe you will see that it's all for the best

If you cannot try dear then I'll just stay here and we'll lay this heart to rest
