Soul Asylum - Dead Letter Lyrics






Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention
Written in blood that flows from the pen tip
Dead letter, dead letter it'll never deliver
A message of love I wanted to give her

Sent a dead letter to the book on the shelf
She revealed some secrets she didn't want to tell
She died on the day that her baby was born
And the dead letter rests and the healings were torn

Dead letter, dead letter addressed straight to hell
It's written to someone, it's written quite well
Dead letter, dead letter will never be read
I'll write you a letter as long its dead

There's no response, and they love playing the mobster, confronting and drinking your self
They found him alone, he just sat on the floor nearby dead letters he just couldn't finish

Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention
Written in blood that flows from the pen tip
Dead letter, dead letter it'll never deliver
A message of love I wanted to give her

Dead letter, dead letter addressed to you
It says that I'm sorry, explains the whole truth
I thought that I said it so long ago
I thought that you got it, I just didn't know

Soul Asylum Dead Letter Comments
  1. K.... L....

    I started listening to Soul Asylum just a couple of weeks ago and I became almost obsessed, so I went to my local record store and bought all of the Soul Asylum cd's they had. I'm only 18 and didn't grow up on this music so I didn't know about this band 'til now but this is amazing and I really hope that more people start listening to this. I'm also very happy about there being this really good new song out.

    Is it real? Am I the first listener? The first comment? The first "like"? Honestly...I heard it on current fm from minneapolis.Thanks to live streaming. Here comes the first "bravo". Well done! Please come to Europe! By listening I traveled to the past. It sounded so familiar. Thanks guys! Keep rockin!
