Tom T. Hall - Letters слова песни
One night in the West Virginia mountains I got stranded in the deepening snowI found important house and took a small room no TV magazines or radioI`ve stood and watched the snow fall past the windowAnd as a traveling man would sometimes doI`ve picked up the Bible and looked through it I found the stock of letters tied in blueThe letters had been left there by a young girl there were ten and as I read the firstI found that they were from a boy in DetroitWho`d sent for her as soon as he got workThe first one mentioned her expected babyThe one and two and three were much the sameThe fourth and fifth said that he might send to get herThe sixth and seventh offered her his nameThe eighth and nineth were weeks apart in postmarkThey were short and asked about her helpThe tenth one was a tear stained on the pagesSaid that he had married someone elseNext morning I felt guilty when I checked outAs the highway people cleared away the snowI asked about the girl who used to live thereThey said she passed away three weeks agoWell I kept the letters but I never read themOh but somewhere up in Detroit there`s a manWho heard what happened down in West VirginiaAnd we`re the only two who understand
