THIS ONE IS A SONG...JUST BANGED IT OUT TONIGHT...SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD, I THINK...IT'S A 6/8 KINDA FEEL...LOTTA HARMONIES...THIS CAME FAST...SOMETIMES GOOD ONES DO...

"LETTERS FOR FREE"

HE WAS CENTURY BOUND WITH A TROUPE OF RENOWN
THROUGH A SKY THAT WAS BLUER THAN SEA...
AND WHEN QUESTIONED ABROAD, HE WOULD QUIP WITH A NOD...
"SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE...
YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..."


THERE WERE SHIPS WITHOUT SAILS, THERE WERE SILVERY RAILS
THERE WERE HOPES THAT WERE NEVER TO BE...
BUT AS DARK AS THE RAIN, HE'D REPEAT THE REFRAIN...
"SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE...
YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..."


(Bridge}
IF THE MOOD WOULD BE RIGHT HE COULD CONQUER THE NIGHT
AND THE KINGS COULD BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES...
BUT THE QUESTION WAS SUCH IT DEMANDED TOO MUCH
IT'S THE QUESTION THE HEART NEVER FREES...


IN A LIFETIME OR TWO HE WAS DEEMED TO BE THROUGH
THOUGH NO UNSPOKEN PAGE COULD AGREE...
NEVER DOUBTING HIS WORTH, SAID A MAN OF THE EARTH
"SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE...
YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..."
