Postcard from Rome
[Verse 1]
She's in a window seat
Sitting alone
Suitcase is spilling out
And taking photos
Of European architecture
An apartment on the coast
She's on an airplane heading to Rome
She's on an airplane sitting alone

[Chorus]
Baby, be safe, baby, be smart
The world's not so pretty a place after dark
Honey, I'd hold you so tight in my arms
But you're oceans away, and I'm home working hard
So, baby, be safe, baby, be smart

[Verse 2]
Take pictures of people and pictures of trees
Try every corner coffee shop on every busy street
Be the modern Napoleon, take all of Italy
But every so often think a little of me
I'm probably wide awake worried about you out on the street
[Chorus]
So, baby, go free, baby, have fun
The world is a beautiful place when you're young
I'll be here waiting when your traveling is done
If you promise me that we'll still be in love
Then, baby, go free, and, baby, have fun

[Verse 3]
She's in a window seat sitting alone
Her heart is heavy her suitcase is full
Of different cultured friends, a postcard from Rome
She's on an airplane headed back home
She's on an airplane crying alone

[Chorus]
And, baby, I'm sorry, baby, I'm sure
The world was a wonderful where you were
You wish you'd stayed longer, the trip was a blur
When you're homesick for elsewhere let me be the cure
I need you, my love, I need you, my friend
So you're taking me with you if you leave here again
