Lately I've become such a postcard lover |
| [00:26.020] |
Especially of the ones I get from you |
| [00:34.160] |
And if, these days, they don't come quite so often |
| [00:42.320] |
They charm me more than ever when they do |
| [00:50.620] |
I picture you beside a sunny harbour |
| [01:00.370] |
Waiting for a boat to come to shore |
| [01:08.820] |
Your finger lingering on a postcard spinner |
| [01:16.890] |
In the doorway of a tacky tourist store |
| [01:25.420] |
Or whiling away those warm enchanted evenings |
| [01:34.310] |
Writing in the corner of some café |
| [01:42.860] |
Those careless collections of words and feelings |
| [01:50.680] |
You happened to feel like sending me that day |
| [01:59.190] |
I save every card, although it gets hard |
| [02:07.730] |
To keep some order amongst those random souvenirs |
| [02:16.460] |
It amazes me some, the way we've become |
| [02:24.710] |
Such postcard lovers, divided by the oceans |
| [02:34.530] |
And the years |
| [03:41.600] |
Have you found yourself some wonderful companion |
| [03:49.000] |
And all the happiness that heaven allows |
| [03:57.810] |
Or are you homesick for that grey and drizzly nation |
| [04:05.950] |
As you walk home amidst the evening crowds |
| [04:13.710] |
The postcards I send to you from my own travels |
| [04:22.890] |
Can hardly match the ones you send to me |
| [04:31.000] |
But at least I give you news of what I'm doing |
| [04:39.630] |
And open my heart to you occasionally |
| [04:48.030] |
Looking back on all the cards you've written |
| [04:56.520] |
From every far-flung corner beneath the sun |
| [05:04.490] |
They say so little of the life you're really leading |
| [05:13.040] |
So little of the person you've become |
| [05:21.770] |
But they still bear the traces of all the special places |
| [05:30.200] |
We've kept deep within our hopes and in our fears |
| [05:38.390] |
It amazes me some, the way we've become |
| [05:46.410] |
Such postcard lovers, divided by the oceans |
| [05:55.310] |
And the years |
