Gulshan Mandal - That Letter Lyrics

I gave a letter to the postman scrawled my heart in ink
Dropped it in his satchel found time to sit and think
The wind it whistled softly as I watched him walk away
Wonderin' if you'd read it and what you might say
Underneath that paper stamp lies a promise I can't keep
I told you I'd be home soon but the road runs too deep
The postman tipped his hat to me and left me standing there
With every step he took he carried all my prayers
Oh the mailman's blues he's got my heart in hand
Ridin' through the town tonight across this lonesome land
He don't know the weight he holds with every step he takes
Oh the mailman's blues he's carryin' my fate
Guitar strums so tender with each note a tear
Thoughts of you come floodin' back as if you were still near
The moonlight paints the old dirt road where the postman's shadow falls
With every turn of his wheel to love I make my calls
Days have turned to lonely nights stars have lost their glow
Wishin' on that envelope that you might really know
The truth behind my ramblin' the reasons why I roam
Oh how I long to feel your love to finally come back home
The postman's just a stranger but he carries all I own
With every simple footstep my love for you is shown
I hope you'll read that letter and see the truest me
For in those words my dear I lay my soul and plea
