Letter in Hand

I have a letter in my hand
I have a letter in my hand
All the way from Washington
Will we lose what we have won?
I have a letter in my hand

See that circle in the sand
See that circle in the sand
I was angry with my friend
See the fire across the land
See the circle in the sand

She was telling me no lie
She’s been telling me no lie
Hear them calling, hear their prayer
Hear the sinners everywhere
Oh she’s been telling me no lie

He had a suit he wore of grey
He had a suit he wore of grey
They made it in a factory
They rang the bells, he kept us free
He had a suit he wore of grey

He had a letter in his hand
He had a letter in his hand
He held the letter to his chest
See the dove upon his breast
He had a letter in his hand

Now she goes dressed all in black
She goes dressed all in black
She holds him in her memory
They ring the bells, they kept us free
Now she goes dressed all in black

I have a letter in my hand
Oh I have a letter in my hand
All the way from Washington
Will we lose what we have won?
I have a letter in my hand
