Mad Shelley's Letterbox

Lyrics

Time is written on your face
 And the cold white arms of memory embrace you
 Love is only laid to waste, now it's only lips of loneliness that taste you
 Oh God, you were beautiful
 Oh God, you were beautiful
 Oh God
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 Me, I never left the room
 The light-bulb that shone down on me was gloomy
 I could read you by the moon
 The way you looked at me I thought you knew me
 Oh God you were beautiful
 Oh God you were beautiful
 Oh God
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 (special delivery for Mad Shelley)
 What could anybody say
 Except in hindsight this was bound to happen
 When two souls combine this way
 There's no compartment they can find a map in
 I don't know what you're honestly thinking
 Your mind's not in your heart
 Oh God you were beautiful
 Oh God you were beautiful
 Oh God
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 Mad Shelley's Letterbox is full of birthday cards
 Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh
 (laughing)
