Bloodletter
There's a letter I never sent
That I wrote to your family
Your mother and father, the people back home
'Bout some far distant tragedy
Oh, back when I took you away
From the land where you had grown
To a life up in these hills
You and me, man and wife, alone
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Into the sun a baby born
The blue, blue eyes of a boy
The cold finger of winter's chill
No time to say goodbye
A monster cries on the side of a hill
A child walks through a field
A woman lies in a box somewhere
The letter gets written and sealed
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Follow me down to the garden
Where life grows choking and wild
Where the flowers are sickly, the flowers are sweet
The horses, they bend and they smile
See, fate, it is no sliding scale
It is firm and it'll rip out your seams
Go throw your little coin down into my well
See how much fortune it brings
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written with love
Ooh
That I wrote to your family
Your mother and father, the people back home
'Bout some far distant tragedy
Oh, back when I took you away
From the land where you had grown
To a life up in these hills
You and me, man and wife, alone
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Into the sun a baby born
The blue, blue eyes of a boy
The cold finger of winter's chill
No time to say goodbye
A monster cries on the side of a hill
A child walks through a field
A woman lies in a box somewhere
The letter gets written and sealed
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Follow me down to the garden
Where life grows choking and wild
Where the flowers are sickly, the flowers are sweet
The horses, they bend and they smile
See, fate, it is no sliding scale
It is firm and it'll rip out your seams
Go throw your little coin down into my well
See how much fortune it brings
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
This letter's written with love
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written in blood
Oo-ooo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-ooo-ooh
And this letter's written with love
Ooh
