"Calico Meadow" lyrics

"Calico Meadow"

Wide eyed, as Daisy plucked the colors from the meadow
High, low, and silver lining
Clouds of white and yellow
My heart, won't you care for it?
It's not hard, won't you let it in?

So for the county line we left
And sold all our personal effects
Daisy, she was something else
She saved her heart for someone else
With a smile, she turned to me and said

"You gotta be tough when there's just too much going on
You think you're in love, but you're wrong"

Wide eyed, as Daisy left the colors by the meadow
High, low, and silver lining
Clouds of white and yellow
My heart couldn't stand it
It's not much, won't you care for it?

I've gotta be tough, there's just so much going on
I thought it was love, but I was wrong

Wide eyed, as Daisy left me bleeding on the meadow
High, low, and silver lining
Clouds of red and yellow
My heart, there's a hole in it
And I'm there, won't you open it?
