Lyrics

Postcard

I sent a postcard
For the first time in years today
I couldn’t find the words to say
But I sent it anyway

I was thinking about you
So I thought I’d let you know
I don’t know what came over me
So suddenly
I hope it makes you smile

Carry me to the water
Throw me in the lake
Float on down the river
Let the ocean take me away
If only we could live forever
Even after we’re gone
Never mind the stormy weather
Carry on just like a song

Caught up in the turnstile
It’s the same thing every day
You try to keep it together
But you can’t seem to get out
Of your own way

Carry me to the water
Throw me in the lake
Float on down the river
Let the ocean take me away
If only we could live forever
Even after we’re gone
Never mind the stormy weather
Let it be
Just like a song

Carry me to the water
Throw me in the lake
Float on down the river
Let the ocean take me away
It’s a crazy world outside
And there’s nowhere you can hide
You open the door and you try to ignore it
But I can see it in your eyes

Carry me to the water
Throw me in the lake
Float on down the river
Let the ocean take me away
If only we could live forever
Even after we’re gone
Never mind the stormy weather
Let it be
Just like a song

I sent a postcard
For the first time in years today
