Ten O
Secret Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ten o'clock postman
Bring me her letter
Ten o'clock postman
Make me feel better
Been so many days
Since that I've met her
Ten o'clock postman
Bring me her letter
Bring me her letter

I'm walking all over the room
Wonder why I don't stop biting my nails
Why carry this feeling of doom
A couple more hours and I'll get the mail
I'll get the mail

Finding it so hard to eat
The toast and the eggs they just don't taste the same
Hearing a noise in the street
I run to the window and cry out in the vain

Ten o'clock postman
...

Remembering that she said for sure
I'll write you the minute I'll get off the plane
Nothing
Not one single word
It must come this morning or I'll go insane
I'll go insane

Now it's been almost five days
Could she have sent it by air or by rail
I hear someone's comin' this way
This must be it yes it must be the mail





Ten o'clock postman
...

@user-gv8pb3ce4g

Парень из космоса, очень живой, одет на 2020 по последней моде, имеет вкус, и красивую душу. Песня даёт романтические видения, надежды.., воспоминания прошлого и будущего. Письмо которое не дошло до нас.

@monicaromana7046

никаких побрякушек, цепей, колец и прочей мишуры, видно, что не заморочен на одежде, а сколько артистизма, обаяния, какой голос, как чувствует музыку и в то же время все по-мужски! СУПЕР!
