the Postcard I Never Sent

from The Bleecker Tapes by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

you said you couldn't think about me
out of fear of no return
said i couldn't blame you darling but i'd always return
to the comfort of Melrose or wherever you happened to be
the song in my heart little lover or the boots on my feet
all these gifts you give me, all the lonely train rides
always there so honest, love, waiting on the other side.
remember post incarceration? you were the first on the phone
said "you'd better count your blessings, baby, better let some things go"
so i drove straight thru Oklahoma, the postcard i never sent;
no big mystery, lover, i just never got around to it.
you said you couldn't think about me out of fear of no return
now i've got yer keys danglin' around my wrist & yer passport in my coat..
