Calico Plains |
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky |
Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes |
She said, «;I feel like a bird in a cage |
But come September I’m flying away»; |
I said, «;I'm gonna miss you»; |
then I made her promise to write |
Since we were tall as the corn in the spring |
We shared every secret, shared every dream |
So anxious to grow in the new summer rain |
And bloom like a rose on the calico plains |
How could she hear as we laughed on that warm summer night |
The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside |
I stood beside her when September came |
Watched her get married and caught the bouquet |
And like those hand me down dresses she gave me |
I made her dreams mine |
From a seat by the window on wings made of steel |
I stared at the patchwork over the fields |
Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain |
Were turning to snow on the calico plains |
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky |
Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes |
