A Letter for Anna Lee

He must make a livin' for a wife and child who wait for him at home

He never roams

And life is just a burden for his head

So he aches inside from all that goes unsaid

And his sweet dear Anna-Lee

She couldn't see his needs were changing

And he needed so much more than she could give

For him, the days were much too long

Too long

It was early spring a letter came

It read, "My darling Anna-Lee, I pray you see

I just had to take some time for me

All I need is just a little time to be alone

My love, oh, how I need to be alone

The business of the day won't let me be

This life's not meant for me"

You see

I had to get away

I couldn't take another day

I had to get away

I could not take another day

He divorced his future long ago and so, there is no time for him

I heard him say, "Life is just too much for me to bear"

And I guess nobody ever really cared

Do you? Do you?

Do you?
