Death Letter Lyrics - New Moon Daughter - Cassandra Wilson

I got a letter this mornin' 

What do you reckin'it read? 

It said the gal you love is dead 

I got a letter this mornin' 

What do you reckin'it read? 

Said, "Hurry,Hurry because the guy you love is dead" 

Well I packed up my suitcase 

I took off down the road 

When I got there he was layin' on the coolin' board 

I packed up my suitcase 

And I took off down the road 

When I got there he was layin' on the coolin' board 

It looked like ten thousand people standin' around the burryin' ground 

I didn't know I loved him 'till they began to let him down 

Looked like ten thousand people standin' on the burryin' ground 

I didn't know that I loved him 'till they began to let him down 

You know it's so hard to love 

Someone that don't love you 

Wont get satisfaction 

Don't care what you do 

So hard to love 

Someone that don't love you 

Don't look like satisfaction 

Don't care what you do 

Well I got up this mornin' 

The break of day 

Just huggin' the pillows 

He used to lay 

Got up this mornin' 

The break of day 

Just huggin' the pillows 

Where my baby used to lay
