I'm sending you a postcard from the United StatesWith words on the back, never got a chance to sayWhen it soars across that pond and reaches your houseMay it leave you with closure and a little less doubtHope you eased up on the drinking, hope you laugh, hope you careHope your days are even better than the ones that we sharedAnd I hope that you find love, settle down somewhere newAnd I hope that this world sees who I see in youI know you tried to reach me, know you triedI know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn't rightShips in the night, ships in the nightSince the last time I saw you, well I've seen better daysThe person that I used to be seems so far awayAnd she's not traveling down God's highway in books or melodiesBut maybe in these words is where you'll find meI know you tried to reach me, know you triedI know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn't rightShips in the night, ships in the nightI know you tried to reach me, I know you triedI know you tried to reach me, I know you triedI know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn't rightShips in the night, ships in the nightShips in the nightFrom the Arizona desert to your cold English shoresI'm sending you my love, nothing moreI'm sending you my love, nothing more
