I am sorry that I set my sights On the things I readSomething meant for your husband And maybe, you left it under the bed Once upon a love those words blew free and secret The pages layin' around Drifted to the hands of the publisher And the greedy generations on down Burn all the letters Someone is always watching Government's on the phone Well openly or secretly Burn all the letters Now breathe life, into your story Send them on to a safer home Burn it to secrecy Burn all the letters Brand them in you before ya go Soldiers are coming to plunder But there are some things they will never know We made our love out of dignity, we dug our nails in the dirt Hung out house soaked souls out on the line Hung out soaked soaked souls out on the line We loved so hard that it hurt To ease my pain I took a pen and paper Incarnate, came the bleeding Send it back before the public eye Perverts it in the reading, hey Burn all the letters Hey, someone is always watching And government's on the phone Well openly or secretly Burn all the letters Now breathe into life, into your story Send them on to a safer home Burn it into secrecy Burn all the letters They are, they are Brand them in you before you go The soldiers coming to plunder They are, they are, they are But there are some things they will never know Well they are, they are, they are Now they are arrived Now they are, they are, they are Now they are arrived They are, they are, they are They are, they, they, they are They are, they are, they are They are arrived Burn all the letters The government's on the phone, on the phone Whether openly or secretly Burn all the letters Breathe life into your story Send them on to a safer home Burn it into secrecy Burn all the letters to you and you to me They're cannot take what they can They cannot read, what they cannot see Why are they arrived? Why are they arrived? Why are they arrived? Why are they arrived?
