Lyric 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...
