Last month while thinking of love   I wrote him some words and mailed them away   But the next day I found at my door a letter from Spain   He?d sent long before and his note read      I haven?t heard from you in weeks   I must assume   That you no longer care   Too bad that?s it, goodbye      It?s just amazing how loving can fail   From letters that cross in the mail      A life, a love, a chance to win it all   Can pass you by in the foreign scene   And you think you?ll find your fate tomorrow night   And he finds somebody else in between      I sat with swords in my heart   And pen in my hand I wrote   I?m glad that we?re through   Full of hate I mailed it      But then in a week a letter arrived   With love did it speak and his note read   I loved the tender words you sent   It seems I wronged you, please forgive me      I?ll return, I should leave soon   But God, I know now   That he?ll never sail   Our letters will cross in the mail      It?s just amazing how time brings a loss   And loving can fail like letters that cross in the mail
