The Unseen Signature

I bought a card with paper gold To send across the county

line

But as I penned the cursive flow The loops of letters weren't

mine (ahhh)

I took a scrap,

I drew the line Ten times I tried to change the slant

To write the name that should be mine But I cannot,

I simply can't

I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching

Yes, I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching

At seventeen I tore your notes And vowed to write a different

hand

Every slant and stroke I chose To make myself another man

But years go by like falling sleet And steady hands begin to

tire

To find you waiting on the sheet Without a spark,

without a fire

I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching

Yes, I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching

I wrote your name down next to mine (shhh) And I couldn't

tell which was yours And which was mine

I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching

Oh, I became you in the one place

I wasn't watching
