Lyrics
i am sorry that i set my sightson the things i readsomething meant for your husbandmaybe you left it under the bedonce upon a love those words blew free and secretthe pages lay arounddrifted to the hands of the publisherand the greedy generations on downburn all the letters(someone is always watching)the government's on the phone(whether openly or secretly)burn all the letters(now breathe life)send them on(into your story)to a safer home(i said burn it to secrecy)burn all the lettersbrand them in you before you gosoldiers are coming to plunderbut there are some things they will never knowwe made our love out of dignitydug our nails in the dirt(hung our towel soaked souls out on the line)hung our towel soaked souls out on the linewe loved so hard that it hurtto ease my pain i took a pen and paperincarnate came the bleedingsend it back before the public eyeperverts it in the readingand burn all the letters(someone is always watching)ah the government's on the phone(whether openly or secretly)burn all the letters(now breathe life)send them on back(into your story)to a safer home(i said burn it to secrecy)burn all the lettersbrand them in you before you gothe soldiers coming to plunderbut there are some things they will never knowburn all the lettersah the government's on the phoneon the phoneburn all the letters(all the letters)send them on to a safer home(send them on to a safer home)burn all the lettersto youand you toto mecoming to take what they canthey cannot readwhat they cannot seemmm
