Sun Goes Down Lyrics - Pure Fiction - Eric Hutchinson

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 its 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
