LUCY SPRAGGAN - The Postman lyrics
rate meThey married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home
She wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home
They danced befo' their families & they held each otha close
And on that lovely night in June, oh, he luvd her so
The war took him to Paris one year since they had wed
He packed envelopes & cigarettes ink & his fountain pen
He said I will send u letters each week that I am gone
And I promise you'll feel betta, when the postman comes
The months had past on slowly & his boots had lost their tread
But still he wrote his letters this week this one had said
You are always with me even when I feel alone
And this rifle bears a burden & its heavy on my soul
But u wont have to miss me as once this war is won
We will be together, when the postman comes
She opens the door to a man with a telegram
A sad look on his face
She wipes away a single tear & she hears him say
Somethin' about the military apologies in the ministry
And she fell, to the floor
She questioned him said you've got this wrong
My husbands fast my husbands strong
And I promise you'll know betta, when the postman comes
If you've received this letter it means the worst has done
And I'm sorry & I love u & this isn't what I want
But u will find anotha & I will understand
I just hope he loves u more than any otha can
I sent u all these letters & for reasons there's just one
It is me u will remember, when the postman comes
