POSTCARD FROM THE BUSH
©Rob Russell Davies 2003

(Sending you a postcard)
(Sending you a postcard from the bush)

Babe, dearest babe
Babe I'm sending a postcard from the bush
It's nothing fancy
Which kind-a suits me
So I'm sending a postcard from the bush

Oh dearest Babe, faithful flame
Babe I'm sending a postcard from the bush
Today I'll mail it
When I've a minute
And I'm sending a postcard from the bush

The sun has come shinin'
And everything's brightened
Nothing here scares me
I'm no longer frightened
So get used to your winters
The rain and the thunder
Get by on your own now
'Cause I'm never coming back home...


Goodbye now babe, dearest babe
Babe I'm sending a postcard from the bush
'Cause I'm stayin'
And never leavin'
All you'll get is this postcard from the bush

(Postcard from the bush)
(Sending you a postcard)
(Sending you a postcard from the bush)

There's a picture of sunrise
With birds flying free up in the sky
... So free and high

The living is easy
And people are friendly
The roads run forever
And you'll never catch me
Baby stay with your cold nights
And drink with your small minds
This bird has flown out now
And you can get by on your own
'Cause I've found a new home...

(Sending you a postcard)
(Sending you a postcard from the bush)

...Farewell babe
Babe I'm sending a postcard from the bush
A Dear-John letter
Only shorter
But all you'll get is my postcard from the bush

And P.S. Babe, just let me say
While I'm sending this postcard from the bush
I found her number
In case you wonder...
Why I'm sending this postcard from the bush
