Always from Strawberry Skyline by Daniel Rylander

"Dear Mother of mine,
Please take some time to read these lines.
I'm heading for the city,
Got to chase my dreams,
I won't ever know if I don't try.
So don't wait up for me tonight.

And I know that you're crying,
But please dry up your tears.
You know that I've been itching to get going.
So now's the time, I'll be just fine,
I'm on the road out of Ohio.

And you know someday,
I'll make my way back to you.
And make up for the days,
Full of mistakes that I put you through.
'Cause this world's got me cold,
And I'm dying to know if I can be saved,
But you know that I'll love you always.

Dear Lover of mine,
Please take some time to read these lines.
Tonight I'm on a train back to the Golden State,
Where there's a woman dressed in white waiting for me.
And I won't see you again.

And I know where you're going,
And you know where I've been.
And I'm tired of lying,
So please just let it be,
I've got to leave you here in Chicago."
