Burn All The Letters Lyrics - Shaming Of The Sun - Indigo Girls

i am sorry that i set my sights 

on the things i read 

something meant for your husband 

maybe you left it 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 the greedy generations on down 

burn all the letters 

(someone is always watching) 

the government's on the phone 

(whether openly or secretly) 

burn all the letters 

(now breathe life) 

send them on 

(into your story) 

to a safer home 

(i said 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

we made our love out of dignity 

dug our nails in the dirt 

(hung our towel soaked souls out on the line) 

hung our towel soaked souls out on the line 

we loved so hard that it hurt 

to ease my pain i took a pen and paper 

incarnate came the bleeding 

send it back before the public eye 

perverts it in the reading 

and burn all the letters 

(someone is always watching) 

ah the government's on the phone 

(whether openly or secretly) 

burn all the letters 

(now breathe life) 

send them on back 

(into your story) 

to a safer home 

(i said burn it to secrecy) 

burn all the letters 

brand them in you before you go 

the soldiers coming to plunder 

but there are some things they will never know

burn all the letters 

ah the government's on the phone 

on the phone 

burn all the letters 

(all the letters) 

send them on to a safer home 

(send them on to a safer home) 

burn all the letters 

to you 

and you to 

to me 

coming to take what they can 

they cannot read 

what they cannot see 

mmm
