Letters That Cross In The Mail

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 his note 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 foreign scene

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

And his note read

I loved the tender words you sent

It seems i wronged you please forgive me

I'll return, i should leave soon

But oh, 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...
