Picture Postcards From L.a. Lyrics - Singles - Joshua Kadison

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar 

And Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star 

She swears she's gonna make it, make it big someday 

And she'll send me picture postcards from L.A. 

When it's time for closing, I play while Rachel cleans 

She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams 

She swears she's gonna make it, she's going all the way 

And I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A. 

Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore 

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door 

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of 

The California sun 

When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me things 

Like do I really think she's pretty, do I like the way she sings? 

I don't know how to answer, so I always smile and say 

I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A. 

Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore 

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door 

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of 

The California sun 

Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar 

And does a scene from the late show 

We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on 

And says, "Next week, I'm gonna go" 

She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to leave 

Though we all know the story, we pretend that we believe 

But something always comes up, something always makes her stay 

And still no picture postcards from L.A. 

Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore 

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door 

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of 

The California sun 

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar 

And Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star
