[ti:Dear Mrs.] [ar:Johnny Cash] [al:Man In Black] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Dear Mrs. - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什) [00:04.70]Dear Mrs though we've never met I know very much about you [00:10.14]I know that you've got hair that shines like the morning sun [00:14.26]You've got eyes that hold the blueness of the sky [00:17.57]And of the deepest sea on a clear day and a smile that has a sparkle of a diamond [00:23.90]I know that because I've heard him say those things about you [00:29.00]These're the thoughts and the words of a man [00:32.14]Who spent many heart breaking years behind prison walls [00:34.76]The father of your children the man who worshipped the very ground that you walk on [00:42.45]He had a picture of you Mrs it was old and faded and torn [00:47.30]But you could tell at a glance that he never exaggerated in his thoughts and visions [00:51.38]He never left his cell without first checking to see if he had your picture with him [00:59.08]He was a young man when he first came to prison [01:02.44]And he talked a great deal about you but as the years passed he talked less and less [01:08.89]And during his last year here I don't believe he ever said a word to anybody [01:14.85]He had the appearance of a man much older than he really was [01:21.80]He walked with his head down and his shoulders saggin' [01:25.86]And the walk itself seemed to take a great deal of effort [01:31.08]He never received a letter or had a visitor while he was here in prison [01:37.55]But never did he stop looking and waitin' [01:40.55]Every day at mail call you could see him standing close to his bars [01:44.67]With the look of a child awaiting a reward [01:48.07]Even after the mailman had passed his cell his pleading eyes would follow beggin' [01:52.61]As always he'd feel of his shirt pocket and then just stand there [02:00.14]Staring at the emptiness and as always I could somehow feel the lumb in his throat [02:07.45]And the burning in his eyes you know Mrs like just before you start to cry [02:13.72]Well I thought you might like to know that they buried his body today [02:17.33]Just outside the prison walls [02:19.27]They buried him there because nobody cared enough to claim his body [02:23.71]You know there was even a couple of old convicts there that actually cried [02:28.44]No not because they cared for him but for what he died from they cared for [02:33.79]Loneliness every prisoner knows loneliness but some know it more than others [02:40.06]The man that they buried today had died many times [02:44.14]Every day he waited hopin' and prayin' for a letter or a card [02:48.02]Or just a note or anything to let him know that somewhere out there [02:52.21]Somebody cared for him [02:54.48]That assurance never came and today he died Mrs [02:59.69]He died from loneliness starved for love a love that nobody ever wanted [03:05.14]You see no man woman or child is immune to the need of love or to be loved [03:12.96]No matter how terrible his crime might have been [03:15.57]The death he died from today was more inhuman [03:20.65]But his suffering is over now and he's resting in a pauper's grave in a prison suit [03:26.14]And in his pocket is an old torn and faded picture of yes of you Mrs
