(Send Me A) Postcard

Lavender and clover grow along the track
Nail on rail on wood and stone
Like we’re never ever coming back
From our search for room to grow

Over land and over sea
Children on our way to be
Something that we think we’ll need
To break these chains and set us free

Over water, over wine, nervous laughter grew in time
We’d come to find that you and I
Were what we both needed to fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly

Straining lines and rolling hills
The dusty cowboy countryside
The tumbleweed just can’t keep up
Or find a solid horse to ride

Over land and over sea
Children on our way to be
Something that we think we’ll need
To break these chains and set us free

Over water, over wine, nervous laughter grew in time
We’d come to find that you and I
Were what we both needed to fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly...

...Away with me
Home is wherever we will be
Just take my hand and we can fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly


I saw a man get hit in Birmingham
Spent all my money on empty beer cans
It seems like there was something before this man
But for the life of me, I just can’t remember anything

I heard the whistle loud and clear, the moment that your train came near
I hoped you’d take me far from here, and I knew just what I would have to do

When the time was right, I would catch a ride
With a jump and a tumble, with a chug and a rumble
I would hop your train, steal a ride and your last name
Everybody said I was insane, when I hopped your train

I started then broke up a heavy metal band
Moved far away just so I could move back again
It seems like there was something before this man
But for the life of me, I just can’t remember anything

I heard the whistle loud and clear, the moment that your train came near
I hoped you’d take me far from here, and I knew just what I would have to do

When the time was right, I would catch a ride
With a jump and a tumble, with a chug and a rumble
I would hop your train, steal a ride and your last name
Everybody said I was insane, when I hopped your train

They say the past is who I was, not who I am
I can count the memories close to me on just one hand
If I’d have known just who I would be with this man
You can bet the moon and stars I would have hopped your train back then

I heard the whistle loud and clear, the moment that your train came near
I hoped you’d take me far from here, and I knew just what I would have to do

When the time was right, I would catch a ride
With a jump and a tumble, with a chug and a rumble
I would hop your train, steal a ride and your last name
Everybody said I was insane, when I hopped your train

Hop Your Train

Someone’s singing “Love Hurts”
But every word means “I miss her”
It’s a hard road back from a broken heart
When each new step is the hardest part, oh

But love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, the long road, the hard work, oh no
Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, when you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth it

Under rocks and behind closed doors
To find a hand to lift us from the floor
A safer place to shelter from the hurt
Of who we are and who we wish we were, oh but

Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, the long road, the hard work, oh no
Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, when you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth it, oh

Gotta love yourself if you wanna be, gotta love yourself if you wanna be
Gotta love yourself if you wanna be loved by another, ‘cause love

Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, the long road, the hard work, oh
Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, when you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth

Its weight in gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, grow, grow old with me, oh
Who needs gold, who needs gold? We don’t need it, ‘cause we’ve got each other and love!

Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, the long road, the hard work, oh
Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, when you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth it, oh

Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, the long road, the hard work, oh
Love doesn’t hurt, it’s the search, when you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth it
When you find what you’re looking for, when you find what you’re looking for,
When you find what you’re looking for it’s so worth it

The Search

From my window I can see life is running over me
All the street signs lead where I don’t want to be

If I chase this winding road run into the unknown
Will I end up in chains or will I end up free?

Like wind blows, like the wind you might not ever know
Just which way this life will choose to go, but know
The wind will always blow, like wind blows
Like wind blows

From my room all I can hear is an unawakened fear
That with years of running I’ll end up right here

And if I write every day will I ever really say
What will sing my heart right out for you to hear?

Like wind blows, like the wind you might not ever know
Just which way this life will choose to go, but know
The wind will always blow...

Water falls, you hear it crash and run to meet its call
But rivers flow and if you trip and fall, just stand up tall
You know you’ll never miss it all

Like wind blows, like the wind you might not ever know
Just which way this life will choose to go, but know
The wind will always blow, like wind blows
Like wind blows
Like wind blows

Wind Blows

If all your efforts are to seek
To order every hair
Of the millions on your head
If your striving is to be
Half of every pair
Of every word he said

Let it go, set it free
The whole world was meant
To be seen through
Rose colored lenses,
Rose colored lenses

Could you tell me, what’s the price
You created in your head
For your happiness?
And if all my days are spent
With my head up in the clouds
With the angels I am blessed

Let it go, set it free
The whole world was meant
To be seen through
Rose colored lenses,
Rose colored lenses

If my heart is on my sleeve
All the weather it will bear
But love was meant to be shared
And if bias finds my eyes
To see the world anew
It’s such a perfect view
Through rose colored lenses,
Rose colored lenses

Let it go, set it free
The whole world was meant
To be seen through
Rose colored lenses,
Rose colored lenses

You dug a well down to my heart
Though it was painful at the start
To water clear and sweet like wine
You never doubted all this time

Although you had to dig past dirt and rocks and roots
No ground was too tough to make it through
And now when rain feels like it never comes
We’re both so grateful all the digging is done 

You dug a well down to my heart
We were impatient for this part
As water pours from springs below
Still so much deeper we will go

Although you had to dig past dirt and rocks and roots
No ground was too tough to make it through
And now when rain feels like it never comes
We’re both so grateful all the digging is done 

Though it took time to dig so deep
Though it was hard it’s now so sweet
You dug a well down to my heart
My heart you can forever keep

You dug a well down to my heart
Though it was painful at the start
To water clear and sweet like wine
You never doubted all this time

Though it took time to dig so deep
Though it was hard it’s now so sweet
You dug a well down to my heart
My heart you can forever keep

You dug a well down to my heart
Though it was painful at the start
We were impatient for this part
You dug a well down to my heart


The Well

This song is about finding yourself again after a long relationship and a tough breakup. It’s about the first few steps you take into your new life, your new self, and your new freedom to be who you are. It’s about the suffocating, oxygen-less environment of the end of a long struggle to make things work, when you finally let go of the tether and step into your own freedom. It’s about finding the right love for yourself because you let go of the wrong love and found yourself first.
