Lyrics
STEAMING THE ENVELOPE
She?s got it down to a science
As she waits for the mail
A postmark from a town of one of his clients
Once a week without fail
And as the cloud starts to rise
Tears make their way to her eyes
She?s runnin? out of hope
She watches as her man goes up in smoke
Steaming the envelope
Steaming the envelope
First letter came slighted scented
Addressed in a womans hand
Any other time she might have invented
some way to just pretend
That it was all in her mind
But she knew yes she knew deep inside
Puts the tea pot on the stove
Discovers what she didn?t want to know
Steaming The Envelope
Steaming The Envelope
And she standing, standing at the door
About to make her final goodbye
Throws that letter down on the floor
This is gonna be the last time
She?s steaming the envelope
Steaming the envelope
