Me and my calico girlfriend

Starting a set of new rules,

Watching the stars as they drop in,

Making the night-time a fool.

Wandering over a roadway

Changing the signs of the times

Looking for love and a new day

Seeing with more than our eyes.

Keeper of men and a shadow

Follow us up to the top.

Taking the latch off the window,

Giving us more than we've got.

Me and my calico girlfriend

Suddenly stare at the face

Of time and it's hope that we'll win.

Then softly drop out of the race.

Keeper of men and a shadow

Follow us up to the top.

Taking the latch off the window,

Giving us more than we've got.

Me and my calico girlfriend

Suddenly stare at the face

Of time and it's hope that we'll win.

Then softly drop out of the race.
