The Letter Lyrics

Natalie Merchant

If I ever write this letter
The pages I could write
But I dont know where to send it
You have vanished
Heaven knows where you live
Heaven only knows
If I ever write this letter
Bitter words it would contain
Just and unrequited lover
Wishing she had never
Spoken your name
Had never known your name
But if I ever write this letter
The truth it would reveal
Knowing you brought me pleasure
How Ill often treasure
Moments that we knew
The precious, the few
