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

All back when I took you away from the land where you had grown

To a life up in these hills, you and me met in wild glow

Ooh, this letter's written with love, ooh

Ooh, and this letter's written in blood, ooh

And to 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 the hill, a child walks through a field

A woman lies in a box somewhere, the letter gets written and sealed

Ooh, and this letter's written with love, ooh

Ooh, and this letter's written in blood, ooh

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 fervent, it'll rip at your seams

So throw your little coin down into my well

See how much fortune it brings

Ooh, this letter's written with love, ooh

Ooh, and this letter's written in blood, ooh

Ooh, this letter's written with love, ooh

Ooh, and this letter's written in blood, ooh

Ooh, and this letter's written with love, ooh
