Dave Faulkner
E D E D "Dear John", so begins a famous old story "Goodbye / au-revoir / thanks for the memory." Keep it short and sweet if you really care. D-l-Vor-C-E can be so hurtful, It makes public property of things that are so personal. All the friends and family grab their share. E D Ink is black, as black as night, E D Black as thoughts that shun the light. E D Truth will out and maybe then A G You'll put down that poison pen. E D Poison pen. Everyone enjoys sharing a rumour But when it's aimed at you it loses its humour. Sometimes words so innocent cut so deep. Everybody keeps telling me, "talk is cheap" Sometimes words so innocent - they cut so deep. Black as night, as black as coal, Black as thoughts that cast a shadow Right across my soul. I thought that you were my friend Until you picked up that poison pen. Copyright EMI Music Publishing; reprinted with kind permission. Transcribed by Leon Troeth Lyrics only version Printable version
