Post Card from Hat Box by Mara Gardiner

G
If I were to take

D7
Off this sweater

Am
In the summertime

C
A natural barrier

G
I would stand

D7
by the podium

C
Declare my love- in spite of everyone.


G
If you were to know

D
The whole of it all

Am
Seen through eyes

C
Of a fly on the wall

G
I would pay you

D
To tell it to me

Am
To see what I am
C
As you see what you see

G D C
And this makes is my postcard


G
It’s the summertime


D
In July

Am
You were there

C
So was I

G
It’s twenty-something

D
and two-thousand

Am
living in a moment

C
‘tween then and then


G Am C
and this is my postcard, to you Kay

If I were to take off this evening
Middle of night when everyone is dreaming
I would leave a note for you laden with love
lit by the light of the moon above

and If I were to take off this cap,
Count its tired missions and take a nap
I would hope to wake to your heart song
Beating its drum so steady and calm.
and this is my post card.
