Say Zuzu

Postcard
(Jon Nolan)

Sitting at a bus stop clutching to a postcard
Feeling on fire
He never told her anything
He always kept it short and sweet
Holding distance safely

Now he's building up his walls again
Always planning on the end
Summer ends with a fall
'Til there's no colors at at

Lonely, wishing
She was close by now

It's such a long way there
Back to Colchester County
He envisions her waiting
With more explanations
His eyes work it over again -
Her tangled handwriting
No love given - no love lost
The strangers seem closer than anyone that he knows
He pulls his coat closer and he stares out the window
The hours make him shiver as the bus tumbles on
'Til he sees her waiting and feels his cheek in her palm.

Lonely, wishing
She felt close by now.
