Letter to Hermione - David Bowie

The hand that wrote this letter

Sweeps the pillow clean.

So rest your head and read a treasured dream.

I care for no one else but you.

I tear my soul to cease the pain.

I think maybe you feel the same,

What can we do?

I’m not quite sure what we’re supposed to do.

So I’ve been writing just for you.

They say your life is going very well.

They say you sparkle like a different girl.

But something tells me that you hide

When all the world is warm and tired.

You cry a little in the dark,

Well so do I.

I’m not quite sure what you’re supposed to say,

But I can see it’s not okay.

He makes you laugh

He brings you out in style.

He treats you well

And makes you up real fine.

And when he’s strong,

He’s strong for you.

And when you kiss

It’s something new.

But did you ever call my name

Just by mistake?

I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to do.

So I’ll just write some love to you.
