about

Inspired by a letter John Steinbeck wrote to his son

lyrics

Well the bathroom tap's running hot to cold
All last night and into this morning
Locked up tight behind that old oak door
Slippin notes like daylight through the cracks in the floor
Well, it's hand written there in a pen of blue
Said 'I love you' means all your shadows too
'I love you' means all your Shadows too.

Daddy done gone and Mama she tried
At the end of a double she was awfully quiet
She said 'Girl, I'm gonna need you now to help us get by'
The price tag of love in the eyes of a child
But it's hand written there in a pen of blue
Said 'I love you' means all your shadows too
Yeah, 'I love you' means all your shadows too

I've been driving all night just a-chasing that wind
Remembering every blow I took to the chin
Accompanied by a hollow grin
Girl, you ready and raring to start this all again
But it's hand written there in a pen of blue
Said 'I love you' means all your shadows too
Yeah, 'I love you' means all your shadows too

Now the dishes are done and the bed is made
Me and the girl's hair is up in braids
In the late summer afternoon sitting in the shade
Still once in a while I think I feel that blade
it's hand written there in a pen of blue
But it's hand written there in a pen of blue
Said 'I love you' means all your shadows too
Yeah, 'I love you' means all your shadows too
Oh, 'I love you' means all your shadows too
