Ships In the Night

I am sending you a postcard
From the United States
With words on the back
Never got a chance to say
When it soars across that pond
And reaches your house
May it leave you with closure
And a little less doubt

Hope you eased up on the drinking
Hope you laugh, hope you care
Hope your days are even better
Than the ones that we shared
And I hope that you find love
Settle down somewhere new
And I hope that this world sees
Who I see in you

I know you tried to reach me
I know you tried
I know we felt the same way
But the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night, ships in the night

Since the last time I saw you
Well, I've seen better days
The person that I used to be seems so far away
And she's not traveling down God's highway
In books, or melodies
But maybe in these words is where you will find me

I know you tried to reach me
I know you tried
I know we felt the same way
But the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night, ships in the night

I know you tried to reach me
I know you tried
I know we felt the same way
But the timing wasn't right
Ships in the night, ships in the night
Ships in the night, ships in the night

From this Arizonan desert
To your cold English shores
I'm sending you my love
And nothing more
I'm sending you my love
And nothing more
