Eternal Optimist

I'm walking around with my head stuck in a fog
I hound the mailman like a lovesick dog
You never did reply to all the words I wrote back then
But maybe you just couldn't find a pen

Could it be you had nothing to say
I'm still checking on that mailbox every day
I never could quite figure out the how and why and when
And maybe you just couldn't find a pen

I pray that mail will come through sun and rain and snow
And if I change address you'll be the first to know
I'm impatient in most everything I do
And I'm waiting on you

So call me the eternal optimist
Forever casting for the catch I missed
Darling I'm just waiting on that letter from a friend
And maybe you just couldn't find a pen

I pray that mail will come through sun and rain and snow
And if I change address you'll be the first to know
I'm impatient in most everything I do
And I'm waiting on you

So call me the eternal optimist
Forever casting for the catch I missed
Darling I'm still waiting on that letter from a friend
And maybe you just couldn't find a pen
