The Post

Jeremy Sams

There’s a post horn sounding down the street

So why on earth did you miss a beat,

My heart, my heart?

So why on earth did you miss a beat,

My heart, my heart?

You know, there’ll be no post for you

Stop pounding, like you always do

My heart, my heart

There won’t be any post for you

My heart, my heart

Stop pounding, like you always do

My heart, my heart

You’re right it comes from ‘you-know-where’

And yes I have a sweetheart there

My heart

I used to have a sweetheart there

My heart

Perhaps

You’d like to hitch a ride

To go and see the blushing bride

My heart, my heart?

I know you’d like to hitch a ride

My heart, my heart

And go and see the blushing bride

My heart, my heart?

Composer

Franz Peter Schubert was an late Classical and early Romantic composer. He produced a vast oeuvre during his short life, composing more the 600 vocal works (largely Lieder), and well as several symphonies, operas, and a large body of piano music. He was uncommonly gifted from a young age, but appreciation of his music was limited during his lifetime. His work became more popular in the decades after his death, and was praised by 19th century composers, including Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Liszt.
