City lights make me forget Your window’s yellow glow And the face that I miss most is drowned In faces I don’t know They all seem so happy here I can be happy too Please don’t send me letters, sir They remind me of my pain It tells me that through all the changes I remained the same The footsteps of a million people Hide the missing sound Of your uneven amble next to Mine, upon the ground No one round here gives a **** Seems I’m still giving two So please don’t send me letters, sir They’re full of ghosts, you see That taunt me with the cold hard truth That you have gone And the city moves on And I’m still stuck as me.

Please Don't Send Me Letters
City lights make me forget Your window’s yellow glow And the face that I miss most is drowned In faces I don’t know They all seem so happy here I can be happy too Please don’t send me letters, sir They remind me of my pain It tells me that through all the changes I remained the same The footsteps of a million people Hide the missing sound Of your uneven amble next to Mine, upon the ground No one round here gives a **** Seems I’m still giving two So please don’t send me letters, sir They’re full of ghosts, you see That taunt me with the cold hard truth That you have gone And the city moves on And I’m still stuck as me.
