Letters That Cross in the Mail

歌詞

Last month while thinking of love I wrote her some words And mailed them away But the next day I found at my door A letter from Spain she'd sent long before And her note read: I haven't heard from you in weeks I must assume that you no longer care Too bad, that's it, good-bye 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 fog unseen You think you'll find your fate tomorrow night And it finds somebody else in between I sat with swords in my heart And pen in my 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 her note read: I love the tender words you sent It seems I've wrong you Please forgive me I'll return, my ship leaves soon But God I know now that she'll never sail Our letters were crossed in the mail
