Lyrics for Calico Plains by Pam Tillis:
| | | Artist: | Pam Tillis |
| | Album: | Sweet Heart Dance | | Track: | Calico Plains | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 285 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 beart 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 hger dreams
mine
From a seat by the window on wings made of steal
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
She holds her babies liek she holds her dreams
Each
night she kisses and rocks them to sleep while
She reads the letters she makes me promise to
write
Sweet Abilene looks out at the midwestern sky | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
