Greg Lake
A Letter
Two, three, four

I am writing this to you
So you will understand
There are things a man must do
To be a self-made man
And to go, the wind has blown me across the sea
You should know just how lonely it can be

So don't cry, little child (little child)
Gone away to an isle (an isle)
Many miles
I'll be back in awhile (in awhile)
Then you'll smile in awhile

I was born blessed with a song
I couldn't even sing
If I lost at love alone
I wouldn't have a thing, for the love
Of my life's a melody from up above
That's the way it's meant to be

So don't cry, little child (little child)
Gone away to an isle (an isle)
Many miles
I'll be back in awhile (in awhile)
Then you'll smile in awhile
So tonight I sing this song
In hopes that you will see
That it's not because of you
No, but something inside of me
A desire too strong for me to tear away
A burning fire, that is why I'm here today, yeah

So don't cry, pretty child (pretty child)
Gone away to an isle (an isle)
Many miles
I'll be back in awhile (in awhile)
