Dear Susan. Bowery Brothers songs. Mick Dalla-Vee and John Graham

Dear Susan

Love, it can be amazing and it can be tragic as well. Sometimes within the same relationship. Breaking up is never easy, especially when you’ve gone down the rabbit hole. 

Lyrics

Dear Susan,

I am sorry for the letter,

I could have said it better

Had we been face to face

When you read this in the morning,

I’ll be gone from Arizona

Couldn’t turn around if I wanted and I don’t.

And I won’t

I am leaving, I am gone.

I am headed home to Seattle,

where the rain I will do battle

Headed home to my kids and my wife,

Make some sense of this shattered life.

I am leaving, I am gone.

I should have listened to my friends

Should have listened to my folk

Should have listened to my own heart

When my own heart spoke

I followed you down the rabbit hole

I was a madman in love with you don’t you know.

I made big mistakes

I made hearts break.

Please don’t call me

I have blocked your phone

Please don’t look me up

I want to be left alone

You know what they say

You reap what you sow.

I’m sorry Susan, I gotta go.

I wouldn’t blame if you hate.

And be grateful if you prayed for me.

But please, please don’t wait for me.

I am leaving,

I am gone.
