| Album | Letters Never Sent |
| Lyrics:Carly Simon Music:Carly Simon | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| Can you be private when the juice is sweet | |
| And the secret is crimson | |
| Can you be quiet when my hands are heat | |
| And the riptide rises? | |
| Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees? | |
| And live on our desire alone | |
| Can you ride the tide in this insanity | |
| And still keep as still as the shadows? | |
| When the cry is so wide on the inside | |
| When the truth jumps quick to the heart | |
| When the wind or the stars are violent | |
| Can you be silent? | |
| Here's a little something that the wizard said: | |
| 'You can kiss, but never tell | |
| All the wisdom you need | |
| And you'll be needing some | |
| Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell' | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Just the wide grey sky | |
| And the hunchback moon | |
| Will keep our memories | |
| Not a living soul will remember us | |
| This is just for you and me | |
| 'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night | |
| If you;re out with the boys and there's braggin' | |
| If you break, speak and call me your lover, | |
| I'll lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over |
