Send me a letter through the United States mail Don't put your name on the label Inside the package put something of mine That would suggest who it might be Pick out an item from the things I left behind Something that's flat and fits in an envelope Pictures of you and of me would be good Or maybe that card that I gave you for christmas [Chorus x 2] It would serve as a clue Of someone that I once knew Because I'm going to forget you If you're afraid you can't remember my address Just my sister, who I hear you still talk with She has my most recent mailing address She'll give it to you if you just go and ask her But tell her not to tell me about the letter So I can have those few seconds of confusion When a letter arrives at my new empty apartment I'll wonder who sent it to me and why [Chorus] Send me a letter through the United States mail Don't put your name on the label Pick out an item from the things I left behind If you're afraid you can't remember my address
