Address Unknown — not even a trace of you.
Oh what I’d give to see the face of you.
I was a fool to stay away from you so long.
I should have known there’d come a day when you’d be gone.
Address Unknown — oh how could I be so blind?
Who’d think that you would never be hard to find?
From the place of your birth to the ends of the earth
I’ve searched only to find — only to find — Address Unknown.
(Spoken:)
Address Unknown — honey chile, I ain’t even got a trace of ya.
You know one thing?
I’d give anything in the world just to see the face of ya.
I was a fool to stay away from you and everything else so long.
I should have been diplomatic and figured that some day
You’d be solid gone.
Address Unknown — oh how could I be so blind?
Who’d think that you would never be hard to find?
From the place of your birth to the ends of the earth
I’ve searched only to find — only to find — Address Unknown.
