Lyrics:

I'm the piano player, down at Eddies' bar,

and Rachel she's the waitress who want to be a star.

She swears she's gonna make it, make it big someday,

and she'll send me picture postcards from L.A.

When it's time for closing I play while Rachel cleans.

She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams.

She sewars she's gonna make it, she's going all the way,

and I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.

"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore.

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door.

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of the California

sun."

When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me things

like do I really think she's pretty, do I like the way she sings?

I don't know how to answer, so I always smile and say,

I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A.

"Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore.

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door.

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of the California

sun."

Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar

and does a scene from the late show.

We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on

and says "Next week, I'm gonna go."

She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to leave.

Though we all know the story we pretend that we believe.

But something always comes up, something always makes her stay.

And still no picture postcards from L.A.

Send me postcards from L.A. signed with love forevermore.

Picture postcards from L.A. to hang on my refrigerator door.

Rachel, if you find me one, I'd love a picture of the California

sun."

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar,

and Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star.

This makes me want to buy a ticket to California right now and just go there. Life's too short anyway.

Such a wonderful talent - this song takes me back to soon after I got married and my wife and I had twin daughters. I'll never hear this album (great from "front to back" by the way) and not be transported back to that beautiful time in my life. Music is very powerful and Joshua's (including his Delilah Blue disc) is an excellent example of that. I just close my eyes, listen to this and it all comes back like it was yesterday... ahh...
