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
Hed sent long before and his note read

I havent heard from you in weeks
I must assume
That you no longer care
Too bad thats it, goodbye

Its 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 youll 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
Im glad that were 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

Ill return, I should leave soon
But God, I know now
That hell never sail
Our letters will cross in the mail

Its just amazing how time brings a loss
And loving can fail like letters that cross in the mail
