I write you a letter, you send me a Christmas card, one concise little paragraph
You take me for granted by sending a Christmas card, abbreviation for "I love you"
Well I don't need your fondest wishes or your best regards
The type is in twoface, a printed circuitry, cold as Christmas without good cheer
But I don't need your fondest wishes or your best regards
I write you a letter, you send me a Christmas card
'Cause I don't need your fondest wishes or your best regards |
Commentary:
The girl's name was Brenda and I met her on New Year's Eve while playing in her home town in Vermont
with Steam. We fell for each other in a big way but when I had to leave her to go on the road with Steam, it broke
her sweet little heart. It hurt me deeply to hurt her by having to leave even though I did offer her the opportunity
to travel with us and have all that fun, but she wasn't able to make a decision to leave her home and come with me.
I used to write my heart out to her in very long letters and then I would get back some post card or something brief with
nothing in it to warm my heart. I wrote several really good songs about her and a couple of them are in this lost
song collection because none of them ever did get recorded. But the lyrics are good and I do wish you could hear the
melody and the chords because they are also quite good. If I ever do think of a way to get this one recorded, I would
do it because it's a nice piece of straight ahead rock and roll and I also think the way I turned the happy Christmas card
concept into a bitter statement is a bit original.
