I'd like a flat white, a day of pale skies and a real kiss

On days like these, I like to turn to friends like Lisa Mitchell and I know I am in safe hands. Suitably called 'Love Letter' this song is another beautiful gem in her fine collection of jewels.

I'd like a flat white, a day of pale skies
And a real kiss

Inside an old house, by the seaside
You can take off my blouse

but take it from me;
I'm disorderly and you'd be off better
writing someone else your love letter
cause I'm always on the road

And of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes

Well a telegram's no substitute
when it comes to living proof

oh go on
and write somebody else,
oh somebody else,
oh anybody...

Your love letter.

So I need a flight home
There's no day to argue
no I need my pillow

Well inside an old house, by the seaside
You can take off my blouse

But take it from me;
I'm disorderly and you'd be off better
Writing someone else your love letter
cause I'm always on the road

And of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes
And a telegram's no substitute
When it comes to living proof

Go on and write somebody else,
somebody else
somebody else a love letter

Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I've known from the very start
Living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I've known from the very start
Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I've known from the very start
Oh, living in that chest is a big, big heart
one that I've known from the very start

Go on, write somebody else your love letter
Cause I'm always on the road

And of course, of course I wanna know you better
But you know the way it goes

I think I know the way it goes.
