RETURN TO TENDER
i wrote my lover a letter reading wish you were here
i'm as lonely as a dove whose mate just died
in that letter i make my need for her amply clear
and i would let her know when all my tears are finally dried
being alone like this banishes me tothe boundaries of pain
caught in a trap with with no one to speak with or to
i'm consumed by damnation, disaster and disdain
while it's really not easy to do that which i must do
wishing she were here with me in this place is futile
as I fuss and fight with demons from far below
and not seeing her standing before me is brutal
it brutalizes and bruises me from head to toe
i wrote my lover a letter reading "my sweet, i miss you so"
and if God knows what i should do then please pray tell
if she ever got to read those words i will never know
because they don't have "return receipt requested" in Hell

RETURN TO TENDER
I wrote my lover a letter saying I wish you were here
I’m as lonely as a dove whose mate just died
In that letter I made my need for her amply clear
And I would let her know when all my tears finally have dried
Being alone like this banishes me to the limit of poisonous pain
Caught in a trap with no one to speak with or to
I’m consumed by damnation, disaster and disdain
While it’s really not easy to do that which I must do
Wishing she were here with me is absolutely futile
As I fuss and fight with Satan from far below
And not seeing her standing before me is brutal
It brutalizes and bruises me from head to toe
I wrote my lover a letter saying “my dear, I miss you so”
And if God knows what I should do please, I pray tell
If she ever got to read those words I will never know
Because there is no “Receipt return requested in hell”
