I shall write you a love letter
on cream notepaper, in black ink.
I’ll criticize that you chose her
an’ made my poor heart
sink.

I shall write you a love letter
by candlelight, in black ink.
I’ll write bold and precise,
be quirky and nice,
and make you start to think.

I shall write you a love letter
on a train bound for Berlin.
Covertly, behind my hand,
as if darkness
were a sin.

I shall write you a love letter
and spray it with perfume
as seductive as drinkin' chocolate,
wafting through your room.

I shall write you a love letter
in the blackest black of nights.
I’ll tell you don’t care 'bout it -
an’ I hope you and her fight.

I shall make you a letter
in footprints,
in the snow.
An’ if they look at me, ask questions,
I’ll say that I don’t know.
