Lucy Spraggan - The Postman Lyrics






They married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home
She wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home
They danced before their families and they held each other close
And on that lovely night in June, oh he loved her so

The war took him to Paris one year since they had wed
He packed envelopes and cigarettes ink and his fountain pen
He said I will send you letters each week that I am gone
And I promise you'll feel better, when the postman comes

The months had past on slowly and his boots had lost their tread
But still he wrote his letters this week this one had said
You are always with me even when I feel alone
And this rifle bears a burden and its heavy on my soul

But you wont have to miss me as once this war is won
We will be together, when the postman comes

She opens the door to a man with a telegram
A sad look on his face
She wipes away a single tear and she hears him say
Something about the military apologies in the ministry
And she fell, to the floor
She questioned him said you've got this wrong
My husbands fast my husbands strong
And I promise you'll know better, when the postman comes

If you've received this letter it means the worst has done
And I'm sorry and I love you this isn't what I want
But you will find another and I will understand
I just hope he loves you more than any other can
I sent you all these letters and for reasons there's just one
It is me you will remember.. when the postman comes
When the postman comes

    I Have grown a little tired of the music I hear on the radio . I Am 60 years young and since I was about five , I Have loved john Lennon , Waylon Jennings , ZZ TOP , ETC , I Grew in my granddad's and my dads bar's , Cleaning and listening to the juke box . In the late 60s and most the 70s , That was the real thing , I Was lucky enough to see a Lucy Spraggan clip on youtube and have to say She is the real thing , Thank you Lucy !!!!!!!!!

    I'm madly obsessed with Lucy's new album. The Postman is a bit "Tea&Toast'y" for me, but it's still great song. My favourite are Uninspired and Until I've Lived My Life (I hope at least one of them is gonna be next on your channel).

    Lucy is honestly such a lovely person, I'm so thankful that I got to see her live and actually meet her in Leeds on the 12th, it was the best night of my life. Her songs are always so heartfelt and I'm so proud to call her my idol and my Queen.

    Lucy deffo deserves more recognition than she gets. She's a phenomenal musician and not just a record label robot singing someone else's song with a view to raking in as much money as possible.
