The Letter Edged In Black 歌词

I was standing by my window yesterday morning Without a thought of worry or regret When I saw the postman coming down the pathway He was bringin' me a letter edged in black Well, He rang the bell and he whistled while he waited And then he said "good morning to you Jack" But he never knew the sorrow that he brought me When he handed me that letter edged in black With trembling hand I took the letter from him I broke the seal and this is what it said: "Come home, my boy, your dear old father want you Come home, my boy, your dear old mother's dead" "The last words that your mother's ever uttered Was, 'Tell my boy I want him to come back' My eyes are doomed my poor old heart is breaking And I'm writing you this letter edged in black" I belt my reading sorrow and in silence The sunshine of my life, it all has fled Since the postman brought that letter yesterday morning Saying: "come home, my boy, your poor mother's dead" "Thosing andry words I wish I'd never spoken You know I never mean them don't you Jack May the angels bear me witness I am asking Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black"
