Postmark meant it was a rainy day
She opened the envelope anyway
She read the paper with a heartfelt sigh
She was already crying and she didn't know why
It was Hurricane Utah way back when
She didn't know or care about men
In each endeavour she scored ten
Once she was the victim of her poisoned pen
It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober
All tethered up with hopes and fears
On the stamp was a picture of Elvis
Even he couldn't help to stop those tears
Then she went to college in Salt Lake City
She was surrounded m a million books
Irish poems to William Shakespeare
She kept her counsel and she kept her looks
It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober
All tethered up with hopes and fears
On the stamp was a picture of Elvis
Even he couldn't help to stop those tears
No she walks into school with a gun in her handbag
She dreams of a time when it all made sense
She's never going back to Hurricane Utah
To the tree with the swing and the picket fence
It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober
All tethered up with hopes and fears
On the stamp was a picture of Elvis
Even he couldn't help to stop those tears
It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober
All tethered up with hopes and fears
On the stamp was a picture of Elvis
Even he couldn't help to stop those tears
