lyrics

Will you write when you’ve gone?
Will you write before too long?

I’ll listen to your distant voice come through the words
Sit in silence and imagine I have heard

Write and tell me when
You’re coming back again
I’ll just pretend to kiss you
I know I’m going to miss you when you’ve gone
When you’ve gone

Will you write when you’ve gone?
Will you write and prove me wrong?

I’ll save up all your letters for a dreary day
Open them together, keep the world away

I think I’ve gone too far
But tell me how you are
I know I’ve only met you
And so I’m going to bet that you won’t write
Will you write?

Running through the empty streets my mind’s on you
Monday morning every week I wait for news
Tell me soon

The postman could be late
I’ll sit around and wait
I’m staring at your picture
I said that I would miss you when you’d gone
When you’ve gone

Will you write when you’ve gone?
Will you write, it’s been so long

Must have been a thousand times I’ve said your name
Send a letter telling me you feel the same

Dragging through the days
I want to hear you say
I’m coming back this weekend
So tell me where we’ll meet when you next write
When you write
Will you write?
Will you write?
Will you write?
Will you write?
Will you write?
