When Johnny got the letterIt had no return address,But he recognized the writingAnd he didn't have to guess.The postmark said SeattleJust a thousand miles away,So he put it in the drawerFor fourteen daysEvery night he'd take that envelopeAnd hold it up to the light,But he never tore it openTo see what lay inside.He remembered how it hurtThe night she turned and walked away,So he kept the letter sealedFor fourteen days.Fourteen days it lay unopened,Fourteen days it stayed unread,Fourteen nights he dreamed about herIn what used to be their bed.Though his heart and soul were achin'Letras de cancionesJohnny's pride got in the way,So he kept the letter sealedFor fourteen days.And then one night he couldn't stand itJohnny took it from the drawer,He read the words she'd sent to himJust two short weeks before.The tears fell hard as Johnny readThe words she had to say,"Boy I'm coming home to youIn fourteen days"."Dear John: I know I hurt youBut I pray that you'll forgive.And if you don't take me back again,Then, I don't want to live.If you're there when I step off the plane,Then I'll be yours, always.I arrive at four p.m. in fourteen days."Johnny raced out to the airportOn the chance that she might wait,But the terminal was emptyAnd he knew he was too late.He cursed himself for lettingHs one true love slip away,For a letter that he heldFor fourteen days.Fourteen days it lay unopenedFourteen days it stayed unread,Fourteen nights he dreamed about herAnd the good times that they had.And Johnny knew he lost herAnd there was nothing left to say,He tore up the note he'd heldFor fourteen days.Now the next day in SeattleThe morning headline read,"Another Jane Doe Suicide-Young Girl Lying Dead."Scrawled upon the crumpled piece of paper where she lay,"I'm coming home to you in fourteen days."
