Not In The Cards

Got another postcard today

This one was postmarked Santa Fe

All she had to say

Was thanks for givin' her the space

She was needin'

Got out all her other cards tonight

And I've been pourin' over every line

But the more I do, the less I think I like what I'm readin'

There isn't one 'Wish you were here', 'I miss you my dear'

'I want you to know, I can't wait to come home'

Not one single line sayin' distance and time

Is makin' her see, I'm really all that she needs

With every picture postcard she sends

There's a picture I'm startin' to get

That feelin' for me, I hope it's there in her heart

It's not meant to be, no it's not in the cards

Here's one I got a week ago

From Ensenada, Mexico

Where there should've been an 'I love you'

She wrote 'Adios' at the bottom

I'd try to reach her if I thought it would help

But the cards are speakin' for themselves

And I've got to play although the hand she dealt

Ain't a hot one

There isn't one 'Wish you were here', 'I miss you my dear'

'I want you to know, I can't wait to come home'

Not one single line sayin' distance and time

Is makin' her see, I'm really all that she needs

With every picture postcard she sends

There's a picture I'm startin' to get

That feelin' for me, I hope it's there in her heart

It's not meant to be, no it's not in the cards

Oh no, no, yeah, yeah

With every picture postcard she sends

There's a picture I'm startin' to get

That feelin' for me, I hope it's there in her heart

It's not meant to be, no it's not in the cards

No, no, no, no, it's not in the cards

Bye-bye baby, no it's not in the cards
