Lyrics

Calico Sundown

Well, I walk out when the day is done
And I hitch my heartache to the sun
Time will fingerpaint the edge of town
In a fading calico sundown

My true love showed me what sadness means
When my foolish heart ignored her dreams
Cos I watched her twilight train leave town
Heading for a calico sundown

She had ruby lips and golden hair
A deep blue ribbon she'd always wear
Now I see those colors in the evening chill
My teardrops burned, they're burning still
The sun returns but she never will
No, my lover never will

Maybe if I'd seen her lonely eyes
Then she wouldn't haunt the western skies
Cos her memory is reflected now
In another calico sundown

She had ruby lips and golden hair
A deep blue sun dress she'd always wear
Now I see those colors in the evening chill
My teardrops burned, they're burning still
The sun returns but she never will
No, my lover never will

Time will fingerpaint the edge of town
In a fading calico sundown...
In a fading calico sundown...
