Writing Letters

I spend my days writing letters
 I spend my evenings singing songs
 The last five years have gone so quickly
 Someday soon my time will be done
 And I used to walk in New York City
 But watch the sunrise east of Tompkins Square
 Since I've been gone, does the city miss me?
 I wonder if she hears my call
 Though I am far away and I am all alone
 There are parts of me that still are holding on
 To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall
 And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore
 I watch the sky in each new city
 It's not so different, I see more stars
 Now I'm counting clouds to calm my feelings
 Which tend to race away in the dark
 Though I am far away and I am all alone
 There are parts of me that still are holding on
 To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall
 And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore
 I don't wanna be or seem like I don't care
 It just gets hard on me out there
 But when I dream I'm not in Memphis
 I'm on my way home on that train
 And I don't feel so lost and different
 Lord, the miles, how they cut me deep
 Though I am far away and I am all alone
 There are parts of me that still are holding on
 To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall
 And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore
