When you go will you send back a letter from America?

Take a look up the rail track from Miami to Canada

 Broke off from my work the other day
  Am
I spent the evening thinking about all the blood that flowed away
F
 Across the ocean to the second chance
  Am                           Em            F       Dm  Dm7  G
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?

F
 I've looked at the ocean tried hard to imagine
    Am
The way you felt the day you sailed from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
F
 We should have held you, we should have told you
        Am                           Em        F      Dm  Dm7  G
But you know our sense of timing, we always wait too long

 I wonder my blood will you ever return
   Am
To help us kick the life back to a dying mutual friend
F
 Do we not love her? I think we all claim we love her
Am                              Em          F      Dm  Dm7  G
Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts?
