I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought

You're still the special person for me

I know I should reserve that feeling for her

But I have fallen down a well of longing

I'm in a valley deep inside the earth

I'm in a rich vein of learning

I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud

Just God and tree and star for the journey

So listen friend you've got my love and respect

Do you believe in the life eternal

I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight

Because I knew you when we were so little

I knew you when I was a queer fish

You were the one they all wanted

I showered you with my light from afar

Now everyone is following you

You're the evening star

So many forces are pushing

How do you stay so calm

If I could master an hour of your peace

Maybe I would know how to let this go

I messed up on the practical side

I can't believe all the trouble it caused me

I tried to make up on the spiritual side

My web of prayers and advice implore you

To live happy in the best way you can

To live with or without me

And if I feel like I am wasting my time

I'll write another letter to sing

To the evening star

Evening star

I'll write another letter to her

Evening star

I'll write another letter to her

Evening star

Another letter to her
