Mailman - Christie

Well, I’m sinking down in the quicksand

Well, I’m groping 'round like a blind man

And there ain’t nothing I can do

Till I get a message through

From my baby so far away

Just like a drowning man lost at sea

Just like a fallen branch from a tree

Just like Little Jack Horner

Sitting down in the corner

Such a pitiful sight to see

Well now mailman

I’m only waiting for the mailman, yeh

I’ve been waiting such a long time

For just a letter or a few lines

Well now mailman

I’m just-a waiting for the mailman, yeh

I’ve been waiting for my sunshine

Every day I walk the floor

And I worry more and more

Well there must be an explanation

And a reason why I’m still waiting

But there’s really no excuse

And I really got the blues

What’s the cause of this delay?

Well, I’m sitting here reminiscing

About the woman that I’ve been missing

And the days are slipping by

And I can’t help wondering why

There’s just no reply from you

Well now mailman

I’m only waiting for the mailman, yeh

I’ve been waiting such a long time

For just a letter or a few lines

Well now mailman

I’m just-a waiting for the mailman, yeh

I’ve been waiting for my sunshine

Every day I walk the floor

And I worry more and more
