Lyrics for The Letter

She wrote me a letter, From the green fields it came. She wrote me a letter, Trying to explain. Now living came easy, In velvet valleys of sun, She wrote me a letter... She wrote me a letter, So many questions she asked, She knew I just couldn't answer, For they were all in the past, City life was too heavy, So she had run for the hills, She wrote me a letter, in the rain.
