PICTURE POSTCARD


THEY SAY HE WAS A GOOD MAN
IF THEY TALK OF HIM AT ALL
HE FOUGHT IN THE BIG WAR
BUT NEVER HEARD THE LAST BUGLE CALL
AND HE LEFT ME A GRANDMA
WHO SHINED WITH THE GOLDEN RULE
AS GENTLE AS A NEWBORN LAMB
WITH A KICK LIKE A MULE

SHE TOUGHT ME EVERY LESSON
THOUGH I NEVER DID LEARN FAST
SHE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HIM
SO I NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK
SHE ALWAYS STOOD SO STRONG AND TALL
EVEN IN HER LATER YEARS
HOLDING THIS PICTURE POSTCARD
I WONDER HOW SHE HELD BACK THE TEARS

I FOUND A FADED PICTURE POSTCARD
FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
IT WAS TUCKED AWAY IN HER BIBLE
IT SAYS "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY GIRL"
THERE'S A LIPSTICK STAIN WHERE THE STAMP USED TO BE
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THEIR LAST KISS
THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURE POSTCARD
I KNOW YOU'RE ALRIGHT NOW WITH HIM

IT'S SO OLD AND WORN NOW
FROM BEING PRESSED AGAINST HER HEART
BUT IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE DISTANCE
WAS TEARING HIM ALL APART
I CURSED THE SKY THE DAY SHE DIED
I CRIED FOR SO LONG
BUT THANKS TO THE PICTURE POSTCARD
I KNOW NOW I WAS WRONG
