I wrote to you somewAmhere in South Australia
A pFoet's heart in the eCye of a hurricGane
I struggle with finding words to sAming these days I said
As iCf my thoughts are waiting in the wB7ings for the stage to clEmear G
And you in your elegance and hAmumour fill the room
Your lEmove and your concDern
Your aCnger at the injustice of mB7an's narrowness and fCear
I tDhank you for bEm7eing here G
You wrote of love from the cAmoast of Mendocino
A pFoet's heart cCrying a fighter's tGears
The children of your body spread oAmut across this earth
Like mCessages written across tB7ime measuring the yEmears G
You in your elegance and hAmumour fill the room
Your lEmove and your concDern
Your aCnger at the injustice of mB7an's narrowness and fCear
I tDhank you for bEm7eing here G
I heard your songs reach oAmut to California
A pFoet's heart lCocked in the Coeur d'AlGene
Of the old men and the booze singing oAmut the truth in lives
Of forgCiveness and loyalties to fB7riends
Constant as the endless railroad tEmies G
You in your elegance and hAmumour fill the room
Your lEmove and your concDern
Your aCnger at the injustice of mB7an's narrowness and fCear
I tDhank you for bEm7eing here G

So here we are joined fAminally by our words
AFll poets' hearts cClose though far apGart
I remember how you said that lAmanguage is a knife
That sCpreads what we feel across the dB7ry crust of someone's hEmeart
YGou in your elegance and hAmumour fill the room
Your lEmove and your concDern
Your aCnger at the injustice of mB7an's narrowness and fCear
I tDhank you for bEm7eing here
