lyrics

Love's Not Near (Some Say Things Best With Letters) (1999)

Clouds hang low o'er a tortured soul
No rest on earth this day
And all for love did this heart break
For love it could not say

R: Some say things best with letters
Some whisper to the ears
But I'll never write nor speak these things
Because my love's not near

Thunder groans as if the lord
Bewailed his sweetheart's sin
But rain holds back the ground is wet
With tears that have soaked in
R:

Then I doubt and start to ask
If God does feel no shame
Are people on the earth to love and
Lose and suffer pain
R:

As I drift slowly asleep
With a distant hope, tomorrow
I remember my own true love's sweet face
Then close my eyes in sorrow
R:
