Letter to Lady J [Live]

[Verse 1]
My dear old friend, it's you we need
There's blood in the gutters and fear in the street
How long we're to fight for a change that never comes?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, in some ways, it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes

[Chorus]
But how long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from—

[Verse 2]
Arms bent back and blackjack welt
Involuntary tears and the tears we felt
Does it always have to get worse before it gets better?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, in some ways, it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes

[Chorus]
But how long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from here (Un, deux, trois)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Virgil Caine, where are you now?
Did they bury the hate when they buried the South?
You got to tell the spirit mystics of tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
That in some ways, it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes

[Chorus]
But how long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
I cannot wait to get on from here (One, two, three)

[Outro]
Thank you, Boston
