DEATH LETTER


WORDS & MUSIC: RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 1994


I picture you in a room full of roses the smell of incense in the air
You wear that dress of white so lovely
The light’s a golden halo ‘round your head

 

Now I curse the fatal day, dear ~ the day I started to doubt your love
And made me pull the trigger of that sawn-off gun
Ending what I thought had gone wrong from the start

 

Now I’m sorry for each time I hurt you
I’m sorry for all the times I made you cry
And when you read these lines I wrote before the end
I beg you, darling ~ please, forgive and try to understand

 

Now you stand in front of that silent crowd
the choir sings “Someday we have to part”
While I’m lying in my casket cold and dead
I know the bullet that hit my head broke your heart

 

Now I’m sorry for each time I hurt you
I’m sorry for all the times I made you cry
And when you read these lines I wrote before the end
I beg you, darling ~ please, forgive and try to understand
I beg you, darling ~ please, forgive and try to understand
