Dead Letter - Soul Asylum

Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention

Written in blood that flows from the pen tip

Dead letter, dead letter it’ll never deliver

A message of love I wanted to give her

Sent a dead letter to the book on the shelf

She revealed some secrets she didn’t want to tell

She died on the day that her baby was born

And the dead letter rests and the healings were torn

Dead letter, dead letter addressed straight to hell

It’s written to someone, it’s written quite well

Dead letter, dead letter will never be read

I’ll write you a letter as long its dead

There’s no response, and they love playing the mobster, confronting and

drinking your self

They found him alone, he just sat on the floor nearby dead letters he just

couldn’t finish

Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention

Written in blood that flows from the pen tip

Dead letter, dead letter it’ll never deliver

A message of love I wanted to give her

Dead letter, dead letter addressed to you

It says that I’m sorry, explains the whole truth

I thought that I said it so long ago

I thought that you got it, I just didn’t know
