Sweet Miriam Lyrics - Singles - Lorraine Feather

Written on a New York sidewalk 

One thousand feet of purple chalk 

Is a madmans letter to the girl who split in zero zero. 

He never, ever begs for money. 

Though the guys defacing public property, 

The five-oh let it go, 

So they too can read his tale of woe. 

Dear love of mine, 

Once again, I see the sun shine. 

Does it still shine on you, 

Sweet Miriam? 

Ten years since we kissed, 

But as long as I believe you still exist, 

I can survive, sweet Miriam. 

Though I loved and I lost and the cost was terrible, 

Almost unbearable, 

I feel no regret. 

People pass and I guess they see me, 

As being on the fringes of humanity, 

Cause I work till creeping night 

To get this one thing right, 

My letter to you, 

Sweet Miriam. 

When Im done, 

Youre gonna come on home. 

One day I walked by and there were no words at all, just drawings of the two of them in the park, ice skating, stuff like that. Once he did kind of a flow chart showing how their affair fell apart). But mostly, its him talking to her. 

, 

We had it, we had it, 

We had that deep connection, 

Far beyond the extremes 

Of physical affection. 

To think you could share it with someone else, 

I cant describe the hurt. 

If somehow you turned into a ray of light, 

Or a speck of dirt, 

Or even if you were plankton 

Floating in the sea, 

Id know you, 

I would need you near me. 

Oh please, oh please, forgive my delirium, 

Sweet Miriam. 

Come on home.
