Select language to translate this lyric
If you wait at the departure gate and think of chances lost
When your memories crack a smile but you're asking 'at what cost?'
When the devil and the angel play their games within your heart
Don't shed a tear when the time to leave draws near
For those you left behind
They'll be doing it for you
If you feel a certain emptiness when you go to take your seat
As the world outside the window becomes a blur of grey and green
You can close your eyes and block your
ears but your mind will still think on
Don't look to explain as you're sped upon your way
To those you left behind
They'll be doing it for you
They say life goes on and ours surely will
Though it's not as if we don't care
You can just carry on now this chapter is closed
And send us a postcard from nowhere
Nowhere
So if you step on to the concrete and you haven't got a care
âCause that familiar smell of home still somehow lingers in the air
When the buses and the trains still run late and look the same
Don't breathe a sigh for all the last goodbyes
With those you left behindâ¦
They'll be doing it for you
And if you wake up in tomorrow and
you're still weighed down with doubt
Go drinking in your old haunts, think of ways of getting out
Now your heart and mind do battle over all the rights and wrongs
Don't look to return now your bridges have been burned
To those you left behind
They've done it all for you
They say life goes on and ours surely will
Though it's not as if we don't care
You can just carry on now this chapter is closed
And send us a postcard from nowhere
Nowhere
Postcard from nowhere
Nowhere
Postcard from nowhere
