Conversation With A Ghost Lyrics

I'll respond to you in letters
Sorry so slowsorry so few
In a nutshellI'm much better
So far the complaints I hear are few
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e87849-ellis_paul~conversation_with_a_ghost_lyrics.html ]
So how have you been? have you been to the races? did you take my mother --
Is your sister in braces? I wish I could've been there to see you through
Heyare all those things you told me once still true?

Do you remember that time
It was cold in the park
You were running a raceI was there on a lark
Who would've thought that new york could be such a small town

Margaret is tired
Let's let her get some sleep
Bored with these letters
Let her count her sheep
So goodbye lovegoodbye love...
