Paper and Pen Songtext
von Adam Harvey

Now, this is Kathy′s favourite song

There's a letter in a shoebox
In a dresser she keeps locked
But she′s never read it all the way through
It was the last one he wrote her
She was sure it was over
From all that he told her in the first line or two

He said times are hard now
Got some things left to sort out
And a man and his freedom don't easily part
Well, that's where she stopped readin′
Her soul was bleedin′
So she chose her weapon and went for his heart


With paper and pen, she got her last words in
"I never loved you" was the lie she wrote him
He couldn't believe the reply he received
What a sad tragedy for good love to end
Oh, who needs a knife
When you can take someone′s life
With paper and pen?

They say he went crazy
In just a few days, he
Got on the bottle and went out of his mind
To this day, she don't know
In the letter that he wrote
He asked for her hand, in the very last line

With paper and pen, she got her last words in
"I never loved you" was the lie she wrote him
He couldn′t believe the reply he received
What a sad tragedy for good love to end
Oh, who needs a knife
When you can take someone's life
With paper and pen?

No, who needs a knife
When you can take someone′s life
With paper and pen?
