Tom Verlaine - Postcard From WaterlooLyrics

Well there was something in that look of yours Something like a play on words. I see your horse, he's reared up his head Could it be something he's read? Now, we must say adieu I'll send a postcard from Waterloo You always said that I'd really like the view. Oh, those great plains so quiet and still Tell me who belongs and I'll tell you who will. We stood apart from everything where no wind blows, no birds sing. So now we must say adieu I'll send a postcard from Waterloo You always said that I'd really like the view. And now you ask me do I need a shield What I need is an open field. l recall the actor's advice That nothing happens until it happens twice, So now we must say adieu I'll send a postcard from Waterloo You always said that I'd really like the view.
