The Letter Lyrics

Cover art for The Letter lyrics by Kristin Hersh

To me this song has always been about going mad and then asking for love when you are on your knees. And knowing you need it, knowing you can't handle yourself. Are you still worthy...? Will the letters keep coming? I once heard Kristin play it live. She said it's actually a horrible song. It made me cry, in public. It will make me cry, almost any time I hear it.
