G
I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought
                   C       G     Am7
You're still the special person for me
G
I know I should reserve that feeling for her
            C             G       Am7
But I have fallen down a well of longing
C                       Bm       Em
I'm in a valley deep inside the earth
Am7                    Am
I'm in a rich vein of learning
C                      Bm           Em
I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud

      F                             C
Just God and tree and star for the journey

So listen friend you've got my love and respect
Do you believe in the life eternal?
I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight
Because I knew you when we were so little
I knew you when I was a queer fish
You were the one they all wanted
I showered you with my light from afar

     F                     C
Now everyone is following you
                     G
You're the evening star

Chorus:
Em
So many forces are pushing
A                   Bm  Em
How do you stay so calm?
                                   C
If I could master an hour of your peace
      Bm       A#         Am        G
Maybe I would know how to let this go

I messed up on the practical side
I can't believe all the trouble it caused me
I tried to make up on the spiritual side
My web of prayers and advice implore you
To live happy in the best way you can
To live with or without me
And if I feel like I am wasting my time

I'll write another letter to sing
to the evening star

        Am7
Evening sta-a-ar
      Am                      G
I'll write another letter to her
         Am7
Evening sta-a-ar
      Am                      G
I'll write another letter to her
         Am7
Evening sta-a-ar
Am                Cm7 Cm
Another letter to her
