Picture Postcards From L A lyrics

Artist  : Joshua Kadison 
Song : Picture Postcards From L A
 
I'm the piano player, down at Eddies' bar,
and Rachel she's the waitress who want to be a
star.
She swears she's gonna make it, make it big
someday,
and she'll send me picture postcards from L.A.
When it's time for closing I play while Rachel
cleans.
She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams.
She sewars she's gonna make it, she's going all
the way,
and I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.
"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love
forevermore.
Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my 
refrigerator door.
Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of
the California
sun."
When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me
things
like do I really think she's pretty, do I like
the way she sings?
I don't know how to answer, so I always smile and
say,
I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.
"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love
forevermore.
Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my
refrigerator door.
Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of
the California
sun.
"
Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the
bar
and does a scene from the late show.
We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on
and says "Next week, I'm gonna go."
She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to
leave.
Though we all know the story we pretend that we
believe.
But something always comes up, something always
makes her stay.
And still no picture postcards from L.A.
Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love
forevermore.
Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my
refrigerator doo
r.
Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of
the California
sun."
I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar,
and Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a
star.
