Write me a letter in black ink Write me a letter by hand Fill it with all of your joy and your sadness Let it say all of the things that you can't So send me something of permanence And sign your name at the end All your words paint a picture Upon my heart And all of the moments I'm so sad to be missing Are all that I've got Left of you But I guess that'll have to do So light your fire on a mountain top Whenever you think of my name And bury my body when my time comes And plant a bed of white rose at an unmarked grave Plant a bed of white rose at my grave All your words paint a picture Upon my heart And all of the moments I'm so sad to be missing Are all that I've got Left of you But I guess that'll have to do So write me a letter in black ink And sign your name at the end
