Calexico


She swings on the front porch 
And sweeps her days into an empty sky 
Of a dream drowned in the rain 
Out where the land is as flat as the sea 
There's a train pulling out west 
And a box of money stashed under the bed 

Up through the pines 
And down into the city of light 
Where the world spins on a string 
The weave of lovers weave meet their fate 
Down by the sea falls in love with the sailor who keeps the light house 

Storm comes in, smashes the shore 
The sailor's duty comes calling 
Begging and pleading as she falls to the floor 
She's left waiting 

She waits at the front 
Her husband come wrapped around her 
Where she fell the stoop in the night
