Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern skySweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyesShe said, "I feel like a bird in a cageCome September I'm flying away"And I said, "I'm gonna miss you"Then I made her promise to writeSince we were tall as the corn in the springWe shared every secret, shared every dreamSo anxious to grow in the new summer rainAnd bloom like a rose on the Calico plainsHow could she hear as we laughedOn that warm summer nightThe tiny heart of the baby, she carried insideI stood beside her when September cameWatched her get married and caught the bouquetAnd like those hand me down dresses she gave meI made her dreams mineFrom a seat by the window on wings made of steelI stared at the patchwork over the fieldsWhere young tears that once fell like warm summer rainWere turning to snow on the Calico plainsLetras de cancionesSweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern skyCloser to thirty but farther away in her eyesShe holds her babies like she holds her dreamsEach night she kisses and rocks them to sleepWhile she reads the letters, she makes me promise to writeSweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
