Postcards (feat. Peter Wellman)

[Intro: Jobim]

The mountains, the velvet, the rainforest, the blue sea, the rocks, beaches, ah-- beautiful

[Verse: Eyre]

Hang my postcards on your wall
Just keep the writing visible
So they can read the words I wrote
And then decide who's in the wrong

It's not a game, like hide and seek
You knew I wasn't yours to keep
We're both like children, burnt but free
Confused and talking in our sleep

[Chorus: Eyre]

The girl from Ipanema
And the woman with the soap
The dancer and the dog
All watched me as I wrote

The breeze in warning lifted up
The edges of my dress
But otherwise they all stood by

[Verse: Eyre]

There wasn't any malintent
In fact I'm sure you had no plan
It really makes no difference--
Jazz is tainted, now I can't listen

I lived my cautionary tale
But did it teach me anything?
I knew it all before I fell--
I knew, but still fell wholeheartedly

[Chorus: Eyre]

The girl from Ipanema
And the woman with the soap
The dancer and the dog
All watched me as I wrote

The breeze in warning lifted up
The edges of my dress
But otherwise they all stood by

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Eyre]

The girl from Ipanema
And the woman with the soap
The dancer and the dog
All watched me as I wrote

The breeze in warning lifted up
The edges of my dress
But otherwise they all stood by

[Outro: Eyre]
