Lyric Letter to Dana

(Lyrics by Tony Kakko)

Dana, my darling,
I m writing to you.
Cause your father passed away,
it was a beautiful day
And I don t want to bother you anymore,
I used to hope you d come back
But not anymore Dana.

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
Dana, my darling, would be so bad.

Dana my darling
I m writing to you
Your mother passed away
it was a really rainy day
And I didn t mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished:
Come visit your faters grave, Dana

Your father disowned you
because you have sinned
But he did forgive you
in condition he was in
And I you won t do
those things anymore
Dana My darling
I m waiting for

Dana O Hara oh,
Dana my dear,
How I wish
that my Dana was here
Little Dana O Hara
decided one day
to travel away,
farawayNo, you can t surprise me anymore
I have seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Anyhow, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana

And I think that I told you,
I d wait for you forever
Now I know
someone else s holding you,
so, for the first time in my life -
I must lie
Lie s a sin,
mess that I am in,
Love is not the thing
I feel know
I promise you: I won t write again
til the sun sets behind your grave

Dana, oh, Dana
I m writing to you,
I heard you passed away
it was a beautiful day
I m old and I feel
time will come for me,
my diarys pages are full of thee

Dana O Hara oh,
Dana my dear,
How I wish
that my Dana was here
Little Dana O Hara
decided one day
to travel away,
faraway
