Bangles The Return Post Lyrics

Return Post Lyrics

(v. peterson/s. hoffs)

 Vicki

 

 Writing the lines as they come to me

 Scratching them out almost immediately

 Don't know what it's done to me

 

 It's cold and it's wet it's been raining all night

 And there's a letter i've been trying to write

 Something better waiting somewhere for me

 

 One of them is sitting on the wrong coast

 One awaits an answer by return post

 Waiting, waiting

 

 Try to remember how long it's been

 There was more to us than paper and pen

 Think how easy it is to conceal

 

 And i know when we're together again

 We'll be strangers for an hour and then

 We'll have to figure out if this thing is real

 

 One of them is sitting on the east coast

 One awaits an answer by return post

 Waiting, waiting

 

 Take a drink and staring out the window

 Wondering how long this can continue

 Waiting, waiting
