No such number, no such zone.
We _____________ a quarrel, a lovers spat
I write I’m sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I _____________  it in the mailbox
And _____________  it special d.
Bright in early next morning
It ____________right back to me.

She ____________ upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such so.

This time I’m gonna* take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I’ll understand – the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
