Last month
|
While thinking of love
|
I wrote him some words and mailed them away
|
But the next day
|
I found at my door a letter from Spain
|
He'd sent long before
|
And it's not read
|
I haven't heard from you in weeks
|
I must assume that you no longer care
|
Too bad that's it, goodbye
|
It's just amazing
|
How loving can fail
|
From letters that cross in the mail
|
A life, a love, a chance to win it all
|
Can pass you by, in the far gone seen
|
And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night
|
And he finds somebody else in-between
|
I sat with swords in my heart
|
And pen in a hand I wrote
|
I'm glad that we're through
|
Full of hate I mailed it
|
But then in a week a letter arrived
|
With love did it speak
|
I loved the tender words you sent
|
It seems I wronged you please forgive me
|
I'll return by ship real soon
|
But I know now that he'll never sail
|
Our letters will cross in the mail
|
It's just amazing
|
How time brings a loss
|
And loving can fail
|
Like letters that cross in the mail...
