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 it's 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
