TO SUSAN ON THE WEST COAST WAITING
Donovan - 1969


Dear Susan, I know you love me so 
But I want to hear it in my ear. 
You know I'd be there working at my craft 
Had it not been for the draft. 
Dry up your tear and feel no fear, 
You're here with me like I'm there with you. 

To Susan on the West Coast waiting, 
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.

From Andy in Vietnam fighting. 

I'm writing a note beneath a tree, 
The smell of the rain on the greenery. 
Our fathers have painfully lost their way, 
That's why, my love, I'm here today 
Hear me when I say there will come a day 
When Kings will know and love can grow. 

To Susan on the West Coast waiting, 
From Andy in Vietnam fighting.
