《Calico Plains(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Calico Plains (Live) - Pam Tillis

[00:00:13] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

[00:00:23] Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes

[00:00:33] She said I feel like a bird in a cage

[00:00:38] Come September I'm flying away

[00:00:42] And I said I'm gonna miss you

[00:00:45] Then I made her promise to write

[00:00:53] Since we were tall as the corn in the spring

[00:00:58] We shared every secret shared every dream

[00:01:03] So anxious to grow in the new summer rain

[00:01:08] Bloom like a rose on the calico plains

[00:01:24] How could she hear as we laughed on

[00:01:26] That warm summer night

[00:01:34] The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside

[00:01:44] I stood beside her when September came

[00:01:49] Watched her get married and caught the bouquet

[00:01:54] And like those hand me down dresses she gave me

[00:01:57] I made her dreams mine

[00:02:03] From a seat by the window on wings made of steel

[00:02:09] I stared at the patchwork over the fields

[00:02:13] Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain

[00:02:19] Were turning to snow on the calico plains

[00:02:53] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

[00:03:03] Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes

[00:03:13] She holds her babies like she holds her dreams

[00:03:18] Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep while

[00:03:23] She reads the letters she makes me promise to write

[00:03:45] Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
