lyrics

Send me a postcard from nine years ago
We took the train through the undersea tunnel
To Amsterdam

We sat on a boat and we sang madrigals
We bought vintage clothes
I rode on your shoulders
And like a child I saw the world

I saw this and thought of you
Of your eyes of your smile
Of your company
I saw this and thought of you
Nine years ago on a boat called Friendship

Send me a postcard from somebody new
I’m looking backwards but when you are steering
You must look forward

I barely know you I know you are kind
Kindness in strangers is so hard to find
When you avert your eyes

I saw this and thought of you
Of your eyes of your smile
Of your company
I saw this and thought of you
One week ago you showed me friendship

Memories piled up in boxes
So we can forget to remember
And we don’t stop to count the years
Because the distance is hard
The distance is hard
The distance is hard
The distance is hard

I saw this and thought of you
Of your eyes of your smile
Of your company
I saw this and thought of you
Nine years ago on a boat called Friendship

Send me a postcard from nine years ago
We took the train through the undersea tunnel
To Amsterdam

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
