POSTCARDS Lyrics

Envelope, at the door

Comes from an angel far offshore Sealed by the lips of a distant princess

Edges dipped in lavender incense Pictured hills, with bays of ships

Her figure still with wine-glass hips

She toasts to something I don't know

I find my answers in her note

Three more flights and I'll be there

Looking through a different lens Moments that we get to share

Just close my eyes and count to ten It's good to have some time apart

Instead it only breaks my heart

See you smile from afar

See you only through postcards

The minute hand moves in hours

I'm pacing up and down the house And my head starts to spiral

Into viral madness I'm such a mess

So get dressed for the nine to five Break my back and out on site

Still no word, I wonder

Where in the world she could be

You could be back to me

It's good to have some time apart Instead it only breaks my heart

See you smile from afar

See you only through postcards

You say that I can work on myself Instead I bottle up on the shelf

See you smile from afar

See you only through postcards
