《Calico Plains》歌词

[00:00:11] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

[00:00:19] Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes

[00:00:29] She said I feel like a bird in a cage

[00:00:34] But come September I'm flying away

[00:00:38] I said I'm gonna miss you then I made her promise to write

[00:00:48] Since we were tall as the corn in the spring

[00:00:53] We shared every secret shared every dream

[00:00:58] So anxious to grow in the new summer rain

[00:01:03] And bloom like a rose on the calico plains

[00:01:18] How could she hear as we laughed on that warm summer night

[00:01:27] The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside

[00:01:37] I stood beside her when September came

[00:01:42] Watched her get married and caught the bouquet

[00:01:46] And like those hand me down dresses she gave me

[00:01:50] I made her dreams mine

[00:01:56] From a seat by the window on wings made of steel

[00:02:01] I stared at the patchwork over the fields

[00:02:06] Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain

[00:02:10] Were turning to snow on the calico plains

[00:02:44] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

[00:02:54] Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes

[00:03:03] She holds her babies like she holds her dreams

[00:03:08] Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep while

[00:03:13] She reads the letters she makes me promise to write

[00:03:29] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
