LUCY SPRAGGAN - The Postman lyrics

rate me

They 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
