The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun

Your dog has flushed a deer ans he´s on the run

And the cofee cup is cold

And the morning´s feeling very old.



Fifteen month of time my man´s been gone

The second winter now is coming on

And our fates could all be worse

But sometimes I still must curse my own.



And hello

I wish you well

Where you sleep

All in your cell



As for friends, I can´t complain, the´ve been good to me.

The fire´s burning bright, they´ve left wood for me.

And the roof has been repaired

And I thank them for the love they´ve shared.



You see there´s really nothing wrong, I´ve just got the blues

Cuz if you give a damn you´re going to pay some dues

But if you see the game we´re in

Like I do, you know in time we´ll win.



And hello

I wish you well

Where you sleep

All in your cell.



So time give me a break of a week or more

My head is reeling and my back is sore

And the baby cries for me

And I think I´ll walk by the sea alone.



Joan Baez
