Letter From Louise - The Saw Doctors

I got a letter from Louise

She says that things are getting better

Theres more life on the streets

Since the calling of the ceasefire

People are going out more

All the pubs are jumping

Every one is trying

And theyre hopeful for the future

And the guns are locked away now

Please God, I dont care whose God

I hope theyre locked away forever

She says shes keeping busy

And theres loads of things for doing

Shes moved into a new house

And times just flying by

She says I should come up again

Maybe for the weekend

She says theyre throwing a party

That’ll last beyond the dawn

Halloween is on the way she says

She writes about the harvest moon

She says it will be lucky

With its feeling of re-birth

And i’m going up to see her

For the first time since the ceasefire

I’ll pack my melodies and poetry

And place them in her arms
