(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
