I got a postcard in the mail today
|
And on the back she wrote the words that she could not say
|
On the front a desert sky orange red and brown
|
She wrote will you think of me when the sun goes down
|
|
She wrote it wasn't anything I did
|
To make her leave me all alone to raise both our kids
|
Said she cannot spend the night in that desert town
|
Cause she always thinks of me when the sun goes down
|
|
So hard to know how long its gonna take
|
To hear the heart that was never supposed to break
|
She said to tell her mother hi for her
|
And that she thinks of coming home but she's still not sure
|
Plays piano when she can
|
But she hates the sound
|
And she always thinks of me when sun goes down
|
|
So hard to know how long it's gonna take
|
To hear the heart that was never supposed to break
|
What a mistake
|
|
I put that postcard in the fire tonight
|
Like all the others that she sends cuz they are all alike
|
I closed the window and I pulled the shades all down
|
I'm not gonna think of her when the sun goes down
|
|
when the sun goes down
|
when the sun goes down
|
when the sun goes down
|
when the sun goes down
|
when the sun goes down
|

Sun Goes Down
