Found a postcard on a surf shop stand and bought it for a dollar

A panoramic picture of the perfect ocean view

Sat down on the pier and pulled a pen out of my pocket

And even though we're over, I thought this was overdue.

I wonder what you'll think about when you see my name

The good, the bad, the in-between, I'ma send it anyway.

I hope you took that trip you always talked about to charleston

Bounced around in and out of every bar off king

And I'm just sitting, watching boats float in and out the harbor

And I can finally say I hope you found someone

Sincerely yours from my side of the sun

Signed somewhere south with rum.

Down here they say the breaking waves can cure the broken-hearted

It's a tale as old as time, but only time can tell

And as for me, my tomorrow seemed to be uncharted

But it finally feels like I've got wind back in my sails.

I hope you found that little place and left your old apartment

If you think about it, tell your mom and dad "hello"

I'm just sitting, watching boats float in and out the harbor

I can finally say I hope you found someone

Sincerely yours, from my side of the sun

Signed somewhere south with rum.

The tiki bar behind me's playing "no woman no cry"

So I'll just sit and sing along, and drink to you and smile.

I hope you took that trip you always talked about to charleston

Bounced around in and out of every bar off king

But I'm just sitting, watching boats float in and out the harbor

And I can finally say I hope you found someone

Sincerely yours from my side of the sun

Signed somewhere south with rum

Somewhere south with rum.
