Letters in Music: "Letter to Dana"

Sonata Arctica is a Finnish power metal band which was formerly known as Tricky Beans (later Tricky Means). The current line-up consists of singer, keyboardist and songwriter Tony Kakko, guitarist Elias Viljanen, bass guitarist Pasi Kauppinen, keyboardist and keytarist Henrik Klingenberg, and drummer Tommy Portico. 

Here's a song by them which is a letter to Dana O'Hara, a devious young lady, who is apparently very troubled and manipulates the people closest to her.

"Letter To Dana"

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

'Cause 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 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

Dana My darling I'm waiting for

Little Dana O'Hara oh, oh Dana my dear,

How I wish that my Dana was here

Little Dana O'Hara decided one day

to travel away, far away

No, you can't surprise me anymore, oh oh

I've seen it all before

But it seems I cannot let you go

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 diary's

pages are full of thee

Oh 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, far away

Little 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, far away [2 times]
