Lyrics

[00:16.850] 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
