Dear Amelia
[Verse 1]
Dear Amelia
Is the joke on the rest of us?
Were you laughing at the instruments
That said that you were
Nowhere at all

[Verse 2]
Dear Amelia
Did your Electra let you down
And when all that metal hit
Tell me, did you miss your
Ticker tape parade
Your name in the news
Again?

[Bridge]
Did you finally find a lover
Who wouldn't sell your name?
The deep blue invitation
Written on the South Pacific waves

[Verse 3]
Amelia
Amelia
When the steady glow of the
Dashboard lights
All wеnt black
[Refrain]
And you spinning down
So certain so true
Into the deep dark bluе

[Verse 4]
Dear Amelia
I'm writing all this down
Sealed it in a bottle
Sent it on the restless sea
To you

[Verse 5]
Dear Amelia
You know we landed on the moon
And I will get this message through
`Cause if this bottle cracks
And breaks
Like a wing
Or a heart

[Refrain]
It will go spinning down
So certain so true
Into the deep dark blue
