Nothing Was There

The strangest thing happened today/an invisible mailman passed my way/he handed me a envelope that just wasn't there/an invisible mailman you know that's quite rare/i then opened the envelope so very wide/to find nothing at all deep down inside/the smell was so faint as I can recall/as a matter of fact there was no smell at all/the writing was neat and so very clean/it was so clear it couldn't be seen/so I read the words I expected to be there/but all I could see was invisible air/i would love to read sweet words from you/but the letter I wanted never came through/so I'm writing you back with love you can bet/saying thanks for the letter I never did get/i may be locked up but only for now/all things will change some way somehow/i could be out there where life is much better/and you can be in here expecting a letter
