Testo Death Letter - Diamanda Galas
Testo della canzone Death Letter (Diamanda Galas), tratta dall'album Malediction and Prayer
I got a letter this morning, I had to read
Said "Hurry, hurry, the man you love is dead"
I got a letter this morning, I had to read
Said "Hurry, hurry, the man you love is dead"
So I grabbed my suitcase and I walked down the road
When I got there it was laid on the coolin' board
I grabbed my suitcase and I walked down the road
When I got there it was laid on the coolin' board
Well I walked up right close and I looked down in his face
The poor old man was laid there 'til his judgement day
I walked up right close and I looked down in his face
The poor old man was laid there 'til his judgement day
Well, it looked like ten thousand people
Standing 'round the buryin' ground
I didn't know I loved him until they laid him down
It looked like ten thousand people standing 'round the buryin' ground
I didn't know I loved him until they laid him down
Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
I wouldn't mistreat you baby until my way had gone
Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
I wouldn't mistreat you baby until my way had gone
Well the minutes seemed like hours
The hours seemed like days
It looked like my baby was sore in the low down ways
The minutes seemed like hours
The hours seemed like days
It looked like my baby was sore in the low down ways
I thought I heard 'em call my name
It wasn't so loud, it was nice and plain
I thought I heard 'em call my name
It wasn't so loud, it was nice and plain
I love you baby like I love myself
I didn't want you to have nobody else
I love you honey, better than I did myself
I said as long as you have me
And I want you to have nobody else
Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
I wouldn't mistreat you baby until my way had gone
Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
I wouldn't mistreat you baby until my way had gone
