Fifteen Month Lyrics

Fifteen Month lyrics

The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun

 Your dog has flushed a deer ans hes on the run

 And the cofee cup is cold

 And the mornings feeling very old.

 

 Fifteen month of time my mans been gone

 The second winter now is coming on

 And our fates could all be worse

 But sometimes I still must curse my own.

 

 And hello

 I wish you well 

 Where you sleep

 All in your cell 

 

 As for friends, I cant complain, theve been good to me.

 The fires burning bright, theyve left wood for me.

 And the roof has been repaired 

 And I thank them for the love theyve shared.

 

 You see theres really nothing wrong, Ive just got the blues

 Cuz if you give a damn youre going to pay some dues

 But if you see the game were in 

 Like I do, you know in time well win.

 

 And hello 

 I wish you well 

 Where you sleep 

 All in your cell.

 

 So time give me a break of a week or more

 My head is reeling and my back is sore

 And the baby cries for me

 And I think Ill walk by the sea alone.
