I am sending you a postcard From the United States With words on the back Never got a chance to say When it soars across that pond And reaches your house May it leave you with closure And a little less doubt Hope you eased up on the drinking Hope you laugh, hope you care Hope your days are even better Than the ones that we shared And I hope that you find love Settle down somewhere new And I hope that this world sees Who I see in you I know you tried to reach me I know you tried I know we felt the same way But the timing wasn't right Ships in the night, ships in the night ♪ Since the last time I saw you Well, I've seen better days The person that I used to be seems so far away And she's not traveling down God's highway In books, or melodies But maybe in these words is where you will find me I know you tried to reach me I know you tried I know we felt the same way But the timing wasn't right Ships in the night, ships in the night ♪ I know you tried to reach me I know you tried I know we felt the same way But the timing wasn't right Ships in the night, ships in the night Ships in the night, ships in the night From this Arizonan desert To your cold English shores I'm sending you my love And nothing more I'm sending you my love And nothing more
