Write a letter to Louise, ask her if she’ll visit, please
if you care to, mention me,  as the one who  loves you 
Reflect upon on  summer days when the world was full of grace
When you bent down to kiss my face, how could I resist you?
Now if your mouth can form the words
let her know that what she heard
Is likely not the truth but hurt her only if you have to

Go on write that  letter to Louise, please 

Can you find the words to tell (her) how that man put me thru hell
And how I never meant to kill him only that I had to
Tell her gently then explain I’m broken having caused you pain
How I’m bound to take the blame, see the law has caught me
Let her know my lawyer said self defence could not be plead
And all the morning papers read pre-meditated murder
 
Go on write that letter to Louise, I’m beggin baby please 

If your throat can make a sound when my body’s in the ground
Tell Louise it’s peace I found though I never tried to
Tell your mama when I’m gone I bid you both to carry on
Know that as her only one, it’s you she must rely on
Don’t forget to think of me when the wind sings in the trees
And every sparrow flying free will bring my song to you
