David Bowie - Letter To Hermione

Letter To Hermione is a song written and performed by David Bowie. It is from the album Space Oddity in 1969.

Lyrics:

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

The hand that wrote this letter
Sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you

They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay

He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you

Not only one of Bowie's most beautiful songs. I think one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Simply amazing, what else can you say.

Best Bowie song for sure...I like that no one else seems to care about it, it makes it special

hidden gem

[dlfunky1]

its so sweet and innocent but he never wrote songs like this again.

There's so much in this song that it seems as if it's far longer than just over two minutes.

@lasfinisimas yes, it is best that no one (at least the sheeple that don't matter) don't care for it. It DOES make it just that more special.

Yeah....one of MY favourite Bowie songs too.... the pips and squeaks on my worn original vinyl Space Oddity are unbearable...(Thanks for posting)...
