Tessie, do you remember me?

Used to confide in you and hide with you, and be safe inside with you,

Tessie.

Tessie,

I don't remember me.

Don't get enough sleep, too much to weep.

Been sinking, now I'm way too deep, Tessie.

Don't answer the phone.

You might get scared when you're alone, and they won't comfort you 'cause they've got things to do.

Tessie, do you know what they say about me?

I'm supposed to hurt you much, don't have the touch.

They sent me away so they could watch over me.

Tessie. . .

Tessie, do you see me different now, away from our hometown?

I don't know how to say how much I need you now, dear

Tessie.

Don't go out in the rain.

You might get hurt and be in pain, 'cause they'll come after you, and they'll know what to do.

Tessie, do you know what I'd like to see?

I could come and be with you, and hide with you, be safe inside with you, Tessie.

Tessie.

Dear Tessie.
