lyrics

Well I watch the moonlight bathe itself upon the misty water
It danced itself into silver shapes along the Hudson riverside
And I still recall the day I fell in love with your brown eyes
Sent my soul all a-shiver, babe, on a New York City night

So send me a message from far away
From far away
Send your sailin' bird singin' my way
So I can sleep today
Send me a postcard from Rome
And tell me how you're doing babe
Send me a postcard from Rome
And tell me how you're doing babe

The silent cross that clings itself to the softness of your breast
Speaks the loudest words to me in the infancy of my quest
I test myself and find again that I have no wisdom left
From a stubborn fool across the pond, I have but one request

So send me a message from far away
From far away
Send your sailin' bird singin' my way
So I can sleep today
Send me a postcard from Rome
And tell me how you're doing babe
Send me a postcard from Rome
And tell me how you're doing babe
