Dana my darling, I’m writing to you

My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen

Your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine

And I think my heart just cannot handle that

Your mother wished you'd come visit your fathers grave, Dana

Your father disowned you because you have sinned

But he did forgive you in condition he was in

And I hope you won’t do those things anymore
