letter to the south

i could send you this picture
it was a week ago that ann and i took
but that's as far south as i will go this year 
it's as far north as you will look 

i will be out on the rooftop
my room inside will likely be a mess 
the nights are clear enough here in summer
that ann and i can watch the planes fly from out west 

they say that ann is just a dreamer
the way she waits at home every year 
but i am still young and i believe her 
maybe that's what keeps me here

we split the rent each month with a friend of mine 
and i still can't afford to keep my car 
she says one of thse days we should run that old thing down 
and take a train back if it gets us that far

they say that ann is just a dreamer 
the way she waits at home every year
but i am still young and i believe her 
maybe that's what keeps me here
