The Postcard - Stephen Duffy

I don’t remember receiving your postcard

I never got much post

So it shouldn’t have been too hard

You were on holiday with your school

In some French town

And while you were away

I took Debbie to the crown

I feel as though all the past is closing in on me

I found a photograph

Of me and Kimberley

I found your postcard

And I put it on the wall

I found your picture

You know tears were bound to fall

I didn’t write your songs

When we were going out

So why should I start now

You are not about

I feel as though all the past in closing in on me

I found a photograph

Of me and Kimberley

We hardly used to even drink

We didn’t smoke

We’d walk home from the pub

Cause we were always broke

So when your mother called

And said that you were dead

I thought she’s talking of Another Kim instead

I feel as though all the past is closing in on me

I found a photograph

Of me and Kimberley

She said it seemed

You accidentally overdosed

It was so long since I talked to her

And once we were so close

And I am left with all these things

I didn’t say

And a picture of you in my arms

The day you went away

I feel as though all the past is closing in on me

I found a photograph

Of me and Kimberley

I feel as though all the past is closing in on me

I found a photograph

Of me and Kimberley
