Calico Sundown 2011 Cameron Earnshaw/Robert George SESAC-BMI
Well, I walk out when the day is done
And I hitch my heartache to the sun
Time will finger paint 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 flowing golden hair
And a deep blue ribbon that shed always wear
Now I see those colors in the evening chill
My teardrops burn, theyre burnin still, the sun returns
But she never will
No, my lover never will
Maybe if Id seen her lonely eyes
Then she wouldnt haunt the western skies
Cos her memry is reflected now
In another calico sundown
She had ruby lips and flowing golden hair
And a deep blue sun dress shed always wear
Now I see those colors in the evening chill
And my teardrops burn, theyre burnin still, the sun returns
But she never will
No, my lover never will
Time will finger paint the edge of town
In a fading calico sundown
