Send Me Hope

Sam Cooke sang You Send Me while she drove off in my car The dust of our lustful love affair spun in that sinful summer air On the run run run with the morning sun and her lipstick gun Kiss kiss kiss I found red lips on her goodbye note she wrote Hope Send me hope I’ll find my way north of Mexico Love Send me love I’ll find faith in feathers in the wind Let me go but Send me hope So I mailed my love to Lucy in a letter marked return Round 4o’clock last Tuesday the postman past my door Well I’m sure sure sure she’s got the pedal to the floor But I’m cryin Hope Send me hope I’ll find my way north of Mexico Love Send me love I’ll find faith in feathers in the wind Let it go For years I fought the cowboy in my soul But these boots barely walked me west of southern roads Time tumbles on and she’s still gone So bye bye bye to one more chance and another try But if there’s life somewhere on the otherside Then I Hope I make it home I never made it north of Mexico Lord I send a prayer I know she’ll be there with feathers in her hair I’ll let go just Send me hope
