Black Letter

Black letter came to me today

Wired and lonely

Wired and lonely

Holding my hand

Oh, black letter came to me today

Wired and lonely

Wired to the running sand

Black letter came to me today

With a postmark of the seasons

A postmark of the seasons

Signed by time

Oh, black letter came to me today

With a postmark of the seasons

And handwriting that looked like mine

Black letter burns easily

Burns like kindling

Burns like kindling

Soon as I strike a match

Oh, black letter burns easily

Burns like kindling

I'll burn that letter down to ash

Black letter came to me today

Singing hallelujah

Singing hallelujah

Reading those words

Oh, black letter came to me today

Singing hallelujah

Black letter is a promise or a curse

Black letter came to me today

Wired and lonely

Wired and lonely

Holding my hand

Oh, black letter came to me today

Wired and lonely

Wired to the running sand

Wired to the running sand

Wired to the running sand
