Letter To A Pretty Girl Lyrics - Mignonette - Avett Brothers

Hey, hey, Carla 

It's a long way to Missouri 

From this highway 

East of Roanoke 

We had a moment 

That felt like summer 

Now in slumber 

I can see your smile 

We drive for miles 

Through corporate Ohio 

Rest stops in West Virginia 

Traffic in Washington DC 

But of all the scenes that I see 

Played out this window to the left of me 

The thought of you it shines 

The band plays on, I keep the time

We play in the night time 

Awake before sunrise 

Wipe the sleep from my eyes 

Coffee my best friend 

You dance between classes 

Complete difficult assignments 

Wonder where the time went 

Out drinking with your friends 

We see a lot of beauty 

Some becomes ordinary 

Mountains, and canyons, and prairies 

Sunset over Chesapeake Bay 

Dear, dear Carla 

It's only that I'm askin' 

Make time more easy for the passin' 

If I knew I would see you again 

Of all the beauty that I see 

Out this window to the left of me 

The thought of you it shines 

The band plays on, I keep the time 

The time is marked, between the lines 

Hmmm... I keep the time
