Loudon Wainwright III
Rowena
Rowena, my darling, please don't let me down -
A few words from you can lift me off the ground
Your letters are treasures, you don't know their worth
Days I don't receive one, I fall back to earth
Rowena, my darling, just a word or two -
It means the world to me, those few words from you
But when you don't send them, why can't you see'
It's as if the whole world had gone back on me
Tonight when I'm sleeping, I will dream of you -
Wishfully thinking, what else can I do'
Then in the morning, it's always the same
When dreaming is done, then I call out your name
Tonight when I'm sleeping, I will dream of you -
Wishfully thinking, what else can I do'
Until tomorrow, I can only hope
For my heart's deliverance in an envelope
Rowena, my dear, yours to hand this a.m. -
I'm holding your letter, in heaven again
A few words from me now, to make sure you know
As ever, I'm yours, yes, and I love you so
