Sweet Miriam Lyrics

Written on a New York sidewalk-
One thousand feet of purple chalk-
Is a madman's letter to the girl who split in zero zero.
He never, ever begs for money.
Though the guy's defacing public property,
The five-oh let it go,
So they too can read his tale of woe.

"Dear love of mine,
Once again, I see the sun shine.
Does it still shine on you,
Sweet Miriam?
Ten years since we kissed,
But as long as I believe you still exist,
I can survive, sweet Miriam.

"Though I loved and I lost and the cost was terrible,
Almost unbearable,
I feel no regret.
People pass and I guess they see me,
As being on the fringes of humanity,
'Cause I work till creeping night
To get this one thing right,
My letter to you,
Sweet Miriam.Lorraine Feather - Sweet Miriam - http://motolyrics.com/lorraine-feather/sweet-miriam-lyrics.html
When I'm done,
You're gonna come on home."

One day I walked by and there were no words at all, just drawings of the two of them in the park, ice skating, stuff like that. Once he did kind of a flow chart showing how their affair fell apart). But mostly, it's him talking to her.
,
"We had it, we had it,
We had that deep connection,
Far beyond the extremes
Of physical affection.
To think you could share it with someone else,
I can't describe the hurt.
If somehow you turned into a ray of light,
Or a speck of dirt,
Or even if you were plankton
Floating in the sea,
I'd know you,
I would need you near me.
Oh please, oh please, forgive my delirium,
Sweet Miriam.
Come on home.

"Today,
Once more, I'll wipe it all away.
Sweet Miriam,
Come on home."
