Tom Verlaine
Postcard From Waterloo
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, 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, I'd really like the view

And now you ask me do I need a shield
What I need is an open field
I 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
Well, I suppose that's the least that I could do
Now we must say adieu
I'll send a postcard from Waterloo
You always said that I'd, I'd really like the view
