A barren desert, under a bleeding sky,
Letty Mason's dreams, withered and died
From green Virginia, with hope in her eyes
Found sorrow and pain, under Texas skies
The wind, it wails, Letty's lost grace,
Scatters her sorrows, across the open space
Lost in a storm she couldn’t tame,
The wind, it whispers, Letty’s name
Love briefly touched her, a fleeting light,
Before the darkness, reclaimed the night
Her heart's joy, so swiftly torn,
By the cruellest winds, ever born
The wind, it wails, Letty's lost grace,
Scatters her sorrows, across the open space
Lost in a storm she couldn’t tame,
The wind, it whispers, Letty’s name
In the silence of the night, she cries,
For the love and life, that fate denies
But the wind's cold lullaby, quickly dries,
The tears of Letty, under Texas skies
Each day a struggle, each night a sigh,
Under the vast, unforgiving sky
Letty's spirit, once bright and bold,
Now whispers stories, mean and cold
The wind, it wails, Letty's lost grace
Scatters her sorrows, across the open space
Lost in a storm she couldn’t tame
The wind, it whispers, Letty’s name
Listen to the wind, hear its sad refrain,
Telling of Letty, and her endless pain
In the heart of the storm, where no one believes
Her silent cry, the wind receives
