Postcard Lovers Lyrics - Stacey Kent

Lately I've become such a postcard lover 

especially of the ones I get from you 

and if, these days, they don't come quite so often 

they charm me more than ever when they do 

I picture you beside a sunny harbour 

waiting for a boat to come to shore 

your finger lingering on a postcard spinner 

in the doorway of a tacky tourist store 

Or whiling away those warm enchanted evenings 

writing in the corner of some café 

those careless collections of words and feelings 

you happened to feel like sending me that day

I save every card, although it gets hard 

to keep some order amongst those random souvenirs 

It amazes me some, the way we've become 

such postcard lovers, divided by the oceans 

and the years 

Have you found yourself some wonderful companion 

and all the happiness that heaven allows 

or are you homesick for that grey and drizzly nation 

as you walk home amidst the evening crowds 

The postcards I send to you from my own travels 

can hardly match the ones you send to me 

but at least I give you news of what I'm doing 

and open my heart to you occasionally 

Looking back on all the cards you've written 

from every far-flung corner beneath the sun 

they say so little of the life you're really leading 

so little of the person you've become
