I make a living out of playing songs
Every night in another town
That's how I get along
'Til I'm six feet underground
I'll be staring every night
In another nameless face
I wish it was you instead
I don't feel alone on stage
But I'm lonesome in my hotel bed
How I wish you were here
How I wish you could hear
You know I ain't brave
You know I ain't tough
Postcards ain't enough
Never made plans of living alone
And, darling, since I've found you
I know someone waits for me at home
To come back quick and soon
Guess I miss you most of all
When twilight shadows fall
What else can I say
'Cept you're my one and all
How I wish you were here
How I wish you could hear
You know I ain't brave
You know I ain't tough
Postcards ain't enough
If my pleading words
And longing for you now
Could be a voodoo call
And bring you close somehow
And, darling, I'm so sorry, dear
For leavin' what we'd begun
But I don't care if there's someone else for me
I still miss someone
How I wish you were here
How I wish you could hear
You know I ain't brave
You know I ain't tough
Postcards ain't enough
