When I Write Your Name Songtext
von The Rave-Ups

Can′t you see
This long, loving war of ours
Cannot be won?
I say can't you see?
Well, baby, this is our Vietnam
Write your name on every cheque
Once every month, like you know what

Tell me what is left
When I write your name?
Tell me what is left
When I write your name?

Well, my heart may have died
But luckily, my head survived
To see how far your new name has taken you
And taken your new life
Well, I still can′t think of things we said we'll do
When things went wrong, weren't right


Tell me what is left
When I write your name?
Tell me what is left
When I write your name?

Roses may be red but still I
Write your name, instead of loving you

Tell me what is left
When I write your name?
Tell me what is left
When I write your name? (Write it)

Well, can′t you see
This long, loving war of ours
Cannot be won?
I say can′t you see?
Wake up, baby, this is our Vietnam
If I write your name on every cheque
Once every month, like you know what

Tell me what is left
When I write your name?
Tell me what is left
When I write your name?

Roses may be red but still I
Write your name, instead of loving you


Tell me what is left
When I write your name?
Tell me what is left
When I write your name?

Left, right, left
Left, right, left

I'm gon′ write your name
I'm gon′ write your name
I'm gon′ write your name
Gon' write your name
Gon' write your name
Yeah, I′ll write your name
