lyrics

(forty cards)

She has forty sympathy cards in a drawer beside the bed
Every one of them correct and beautifully produced
Thinking of you at this time, with deepest sympathy
And not one single word that anybody wrote themselves

Forty cards in a drawer, in a drawer, in a drawer
A shop wrote all of them and a shop meant none of it
Forty cards in a drawer, in a drawer, in a drawer
And a bad letter with the wrong year on the fridge

I bought one of those cards. In March. I had it in the car.
I had it in the car for four months and never posted it
because even I could tell it did not say anything at all.
