Burn All The Letters
Indigo Girls Song Lyrics
Words and Music: Emily Saliers I am sorry that I set my sights on the things I read Something meant for your husband maybe you left them under the bed Once upon a love those words blew free and secret the pages lay around Drifted to the hands of the publisher and all the greedy generations on down Burn all the letters (someone is always watching) Government's on the phone (whether openly or secretly) Burn all the letters (now breathe life into your story) Send them on to safer homes (burn them to secrecy) Burn all the letters Brand them in you before you go Soldiers are coming to plunder But there are some things they will never know We made our love out of dignity dug our nails in the dirt Hung our towel soaked souls out on the line we loved so hard that it hurt To ease the pain I took a pen and paper and incarnate came the bleeding Send them back before the public eye perverts it in the reading Yeah yeah Burn all the letters (someone is alway watching) Government's on the phone (whether openly or secretly) Burn all the letters (now breathe life into your story) Send them on to safer homes (burn it to secrecy) Burn all the letters Brand them in you before you go Soldiers are coming to plunder But there are some things they will never know Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya hey... Burn all the letters Government's on the phone (on the phone) Burn all the letters Send them all to safer homes Burn all the letters To you and you to me They're gonna take what they can But they cannot read What they cannot see |
