Song Lyrics

I am sending you a postcard from the United States
With words on the back, never got a chance to say
When it soars across that pond and reaches your house
May it leave you with closure and little less doubt

Hope you eased on the drinking, hope you laugh, hope you care
Hope your days are even better than the ones that we shared
And I hope that you find love, settle down somewhere new
and I hope that this world sees who I see in you

I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
I know you felt the same way, but the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night

Since the last time I saw you, well I've seen better days
The person that I used to be seems so far away
And she's not traveling down God's highway, in books, or melodies
But maybe in these words is where you will find me

I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
I know you felt the same way, but the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night

I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night

From this Arizonan desert, to your cold English shores
I'm sending you my love and nothing more
