Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Love Letter lyrics

rate me

I hold this letter in my hand

A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer

I hope it does as I have planned

Losing her again is more than I can bear

I kiss the cold, white envelope

I press my lips against her name

Two hundred words. We live in hope

The sky hangs heavy with rain

Love Letter Love Letter

Go get her Go get her

Love Letter Love Letter

Go tell her Go tell her

A wicked wind whips up the hill

A handful of hopeful words

I love her and I always will

The sky is ready to burst

Said something I did not mean to say

Said something I did not mean to say

Said something I did not mean to say

It all came out the wrong way

Love Letter Love letter

Go get her Go get her

Love Letter Love letter

Go tell her Go tell her

Rain your kisses down upon me

Rain your kisses down in storms

And for all who'll come before me

In your slowly fading forms

I'm going out of my mind

Will leave me standing in

The rain with a letter and a prayer

Whispered on the wind

Come back to me

Come back to me

O baby please come back to me
