Sometimes you bring me flowers
A misery it seems to me
I don't want to live a day without you
Haunting my memory
Goodbye misery
Letters on the line
Goodbye misery
Letters on the line
Come in now, you know I won't desert you
It's been four years waiting for the day
That you would leave your girl and take me somewhere away
Summertime was hard
And I knew it on the spot
I would marry you some sunny day
But baby I know it's strange
To end up this way
A mistress on a sunny day
One thousand bottles of why
And the days of rum
Turn to years of swine
I'm leaving you for good this time
Dreams and scars and letters on the line
Goodbye misery
Letters on the line
Summertime was hard
And I knew it on the spot
I would marry you some sunny day
Baby I know it's strange
To end up this way
A mistress on a sunny day
Goodbye misery
Letters on the line
A misery it seems to me
I don't want to live a day without you
Haunting my memory
Goodbye misery
Letters on the line
