Mailman Lyrics by Peter Mulvey

Letters From A Flying Machine

0

[Verse 1]
The mailman came
The mailman came
Thank you for the book of poems
And for your little note
I did like it said
And I started with the one
On page twenty-three

[Chorus]
And I have heard this one before
And it's beautiful
It's beautiful
Especially the part about the tree
Beautiful

[Verse 2]
And so I went inside
And I made some tea
And I listened to the man
On the radio
He was tellin' us how
It's all gonna be
And he was tellin' us where
It's all gotta go

[Chorus]
And I have heard this one before
And it's beautiful
But it's a pack of lies
Especially the part about what God wants
But it's beautiful

[Interlude]
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm

[Bridge]
My friend's dad died
This past wintertime
So we were standing by a hole
In the frozen ground
But my little niece
Has lost another tooth
And today the air is warm
And the blackbirds have returned

[Chorus]
And I have heard this one before
And it's beautiful
It's still beautiful
Especially the part that we can't quite name
So beautiful

[Interlude]
Mmmmmmmm

[Outro]
The mailman came
The mailman came
Thank you for the book of poems
