FAITHLESS LYRICS - Postcards

"Postcards"



[Dido]

My love has gone

His boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go

(Loop of Erik Satie, as in Pet Shop Boys' Jack The Lad)



[Maxi Jazz]

New York, New York, temperature's droppin'

The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop

Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops

And it never stops

I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you

Today I feel close enough to smell you

Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through

Florida's out

We fly September 22 to Heathrow,

but there's not really long to go

Tonight will be a brilliant show

Lettin' you know I miss you

More than four hits the floor at a party

Send my love to everybody

Please, send my love to everybody

(everybody everybody everybody...)

Send my love to everybody

(everybody everybody everybody...)



Honey, I'm writin' from D. C., feelin' queasy

Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy

The TM recommends an antigen

One of them could resist again

I miss you like a lock in the door

What's more, I go to sleep with my Walkman

'cause half the crew snored

Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,

But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state

So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate

My bed is travellin' at fifty-five m. p.h.

When we make it to LA, I'll still be miles away

It's not my best day

I'm a get some rest, God bless



[Dido]

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone

(has has has...)

(wo wo)



[Maxi Jazz]

We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time to write a few lines

I'm fine, sunshine, the bus driver's

reclinin' by the grass as the trucks pass

Gleamin' with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen

As for us, there's too much to relate

We've done five gigs, yet we're only in our third state

America's big, you'd love how they pile up your plate

Only place in the world even I can gain weight

Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware

Open air, there's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there

Anyway, all my love, God bless, I'm yawning

I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning



[Dido]

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone

(wo wo)

My love has gone

No earthly ships will ever

Bring him home
