lyrics
Forgotten earrings on the stand beside my bed
little letters full of words I've never read
pretty lady, you're calling out to me
don't you leave me, I'm too young to be this free
yellow hair pen laying on my floor
bluejay feather, spider underneath the door
south Virginia, you seem so far away
let's do forever what we were gonna do today
golden finches, lazy river in the woods
ordinary, you never looked so good
rusty handle on a dried-up well
and we were lovers for a springtime spell
a pair of millstones, summer in the shade
i was raised in a house my grandfather made
a little cabin with a red tin roof
muddy blue jeans and worn out shoes
you said you wanted a bird dog with blue eyes
i said i wanted a bird dog with yellow eyes
a dirty tea cup, tracking mud across the floor
for forever, for a day and nothing more
a crazy haircut went and stole your home
he took the pine trees and the colored stone
there's nothing sacred about the things we choose
and there's no such thing as the white girl blues
turquoise earrings, you're a thousand miles away
forgotten earrings, now they're just another day
pin-oak picture in a box beside my bed
and written letters full of words I've never said
turquoise earrings, you're the one that got away
love forever died to love another day
picture perfect, like a thousand magazines
you forgot your hair pen and your turquoise earrings
