Your dog has flushed a deer ans he?s on the run
And the cofee cup is cold
And the morning?s feeling very old.

Fifteen month of time my man?s been gone
The second winter now is coming on
And our fates could all be worse
But sometimes I still must curse my own.

And hello
I wish you well
Where you sleep
All in your cell

As for friends, I can?t complain, the?ve been good to me.
The fire?s burning bright, they?ve left wood for me.
And the roof has been repaired
And I thank them for the love they?ve shared.

You see there?s really nothing wrong, I?ve just got the blues
Cuz if you give a damn you?re going to pay some dues
But if you see the game we?re in
Like I do, you know in time we?ll win.

And hello
I wish you well
Where you sleep
All in your cell.

So time give me a break of a week or more
My head is reeling and my back is sore
And the baby cries for me
And I think I?ll walk by the sea alone.
