Calexico: 'Maybe On Monday'

Maybe On Monday

Woke up on Monday and wrote you a love song
Wrote you a love song
Well the pen stopped and the paper flew out the window
And the notes rang down the road
I don't know where they'll go get caught in the trees I suppose
Ripped apart by the birds and the winter winds
Whisper goodbye to your love
To your love

Went out walking into the storm
Into the storm
Followed what I thought was your voice
But it was just the riverside
I don't know where they'll go but I cast the letters you wrote
Taken out by the current or sink to the bottom
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)

Skies dark and the wind blew the trees down
I watched as the world slipped away
Carved into the bark a final love song
Then I carried the words to the fire

Staring into the glow where the branches are burning low
Sparks shooting out like stars and in the morning
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)
To say a little goodbye
(Say goodbye)
To your love
(To your love)

I'll carry this song with me everyday
'til I lie down by your side
