Lyrics
Near the end of my route in an uneven line
Are six mailboxes side by side
Relentless prairie wind has sandblasted them
Past the point of any pride
From my tray to each box I deliver the mail
In the fading gray winter light
And no one would see a difference at all
In the third mailbox from the right
It was May and the grass was impossibly green
When I brought the first package to her door
The memory hasn't dimmed, through long years it's been
Kept within my very core
She commuted to school to get her degree
And on many a moonlit night
I basked in the glow after seeing the girl
Who had the third mailbox from the right
But our plans came undone in the blink of an eye
When loose gravel caused her car to slide
Neither snow nor rain nor heat has interrupted my rounds
Since the day that she died
My retirement looms, soon another will drive
Down this road that stretches clear out of sight
And they wouldn't have a reason to pause
At the third mailbox from the right
