Calico Train
Steve Martin
When you said goodbye, I thought I would cry
Or at least feel the dark of a deep shade of blue
I would have to attend to a heart on the mend
And would fight back memories of you.
You affected my life, oh I cannot deny that
You made believe that life's not for free.
But anger and scorn are not what I live for
So my darling I'll leave that to you.
I sat one night, in the glow of firelight
and I played all my favorite tunes you dislike.
Some friends made a call, let's go casual;
Tonight is the Calico Ball.
