Letters That Cross In The Mail

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 a*sume 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 pa*s you by in the foreign scene And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night And he finds somebody else in between 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 God, 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
