Bloodletter

[Verse 1: Marlon Williams]

There's a letter I never sent that I wrote to your family

Your mother and father, the people back home, about some far-distant tragedy

Hold back when I took you away from the land where you had grown

To a life up in these hills, you and me, man and wife alone

[Chorus: Marlon Williams]

Oooh, this letter's written with love

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, and this letter's written in blood

Oooh oooh oooh

[Verse 2: Marlon Williams]

Into the sun, a baby born, the blue, blue eyes of a boy

The cold finger of winter's chill, no time to say goodbye

A monster cries on the side of the hill, a child walks through a field

A woman lies in a box somewhere, the letter gets written and sealed

[Chorus: Marlon Williams]

Oooh, this letter's written with love

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, and this letter's written in blood

Oooh oooh oooh

[Verse 3: Delaney Davidson]

Follow me down to the garden

Where life grows choking and wild

Where the flowers are sickly, the flowers are sweet

The horses, they bend and they smile

See fate, it is no sliding scale

It is firm and it'll rip out your seams

So throw your little coin down into my well

See how much fortune it brings

[Chorus: Marlon Williams]

Oooh, this letter's written with love

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, and this letter's written in blood

Oooh oooh oooh

[Chorus: Marlon Williams]

Oooh, this letter's written with love

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, and this letter's written in blood

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, this letter's written with love

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh, and this letter's written in blood

Oooh oooh oooh
