Love Letter Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I hold this letter in my hand 

A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer 

I hope it does as I have planned 

Losing her again is more than I can bear 

I kiss the cold, white envelope 

I press my lips against her name 

Two hundred of words, we live in hope 

The sky hangs heavy with rain 

Love letter, love letter 

Go get her, go get her 

Love letter, love letter 

Go tell her, go tell her 

A wicked wind whips up the hill 

A handful of hopeful words 

I love her and I always will 

The sky is ready to burst 

Said something I did not mean to say 

Said something I did not mean to say 

Said something I did not mean to say 

It all came out the wrong way 

Love letter, love letter 

Go get her, go get her 

Love letter, love letter 

Go tell her, go tell her 

Rain your kisses down upon me 

Rain your kisses down in storms 

And for all who'll come before me 

In your slowly fading forms 

Going out of my mind 

Will leave me standing in 

The rain with a letter and a prayer 

Whispered on the wind 

Come back to me 

Come back to me 

O baby, please come back to me
