Letters That Cross in the Mail

[Verse 1]

Last month, while thinking of love

I wrote him some words and mailed them away

But the next day I found at my door

A letter from Spain he'd sent long before

And his note read

"I haven't heard from you in weeks

I must assume that you no longer care

Too bad, that's it, goodbye"

It's just amazing how loving can fail

From letters that cross in the mail

A life, a love, a chance to win it all

Can pass you by in the foreign scene

And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night

And he finds somebody else in-between

[Verse 2]

I sat with swords in my heart

And pen in my hand, I wrote

"I'm glad that we're through"

Full of hate, I mailed it

But then, in a week

A letter arrived, with love did it speak

And his note read

"I loved the tender words you sent

It seems I wronged you, please forgive me

I'll return, I should leave soon"

But oh, I know now that he'll never sail

Our letters will cross in the mail

It's just amazing how time brings a loss

And loving can fail

Like letters that cross in the mail
