Name: Postcard
Duration: P00H03M53S
Description: Sometimes I find the music first and it creates a deep well of feeling. This is one of those songs where the images came floating up - the hand on a postcard, the ache, the hoping, the redemption. It felt real when I wrote it. I can still put my finger on the emotion when I sing it, even now. Sometimes songs tell the writer what to write.

lyrics

Sitting at a bus stop clutching to a postcard
Feeling on fire
He never told her anything
He always kept it short and sweet
Holding distance safely

Now he’s building up his walls again
Always planning on the end
Summer ends with a fall
’Til there’s no colors at all

Lonely, wishing
She was close by now

It’s such a long way there
Back to Colchester County
He envisions her waiting
With more explanations
His eyes work it over again -
Her tangled handwriting
No love given - no love lost
The strangers seem closer than anyone that he knows
He pulls his coat closer and he stares out the window
The hours make him shiver as the bus tumbles on
’Til he sees her waiting and feels his cheek in her palm.

Lonely, wishing
She felt close by now.
