No answer to my letter
To soothe my aching heart
Oh, why did God ever permit
True love like ours to part
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Nobody knows what I've been through
No one but God above
This is what I wrote to her
I know that I'm to blame
I know that I have broken your heart
And then I signed my name
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Nobody knows what I've been through
No one but God above
I'm traveling down this road today
Yes, traveling my last time
If there's no letter in the box
I'm leaving this world behind
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Nobody knows what I've been through
No one but God above
