lyrics

i sent a postcard
words & music by salim nourallah

i sent a postcard from southern France
where i played in a pub but nobody danced
a guy in the back swore at me in French
Wreckless Eric almost hit him with a wooden bench
we sang songs so loud that we barely knew
i sang one that i’d made especially for you
a girl with an accent gave me the eye
in her smile there hid the promise of a different life

i sent you a postcard from Germany
where my son ate apples in an orchard happily
the breezy haired one with the childish grin
carried him on his shoulders easy as the wind
and i sent a postcard from Amsterdam
found the meaning of life in an open hand
i called collect from a hotel bar
i cried love is the reason, love is all we are

i sent a postcard from Mexico
where i laid on a beach with a tortured soul
i'd married a girl with no love for me
she left me there adrift on the cruelest sea
i sent these postcards address unknown
hoped they’d find an answer or a loving home
how could i know that they would all come to you?

you’re the person all along that i was writing to
you’re the person all along who i was writing to
all these postcards i sent, i sent for you
