Amarillo

[Verse 1]
When I left from Amarillo
I left behind Rosetta at the altar
With her [?] anger and disease that scarred my name
When I left from Amarillo
I left behind a love that never faltered
Like a shadow on the ground
I went without a sound into the flame

[Chorus]
Oh darling in the dying light we'll lose sight
Of all the beauty in our lives we had
So turn your back 'cause I've turned mine now
And I ain't coming home

[Verse 2]
In the dead heat of summer
A child was born that will nеver know his father
Will he grow to look likе me?
A lonesome, gnarled tree out in the sun
In the quiet of a chapel
A woman cries with no one there to bother
She holds a child sleeping sound
In a faded wedding gown seen by no one

[Chorus]
Oh darling in the dying light we'll lose sight
Of all the beauty in our lives we had
So turn your back 'cause I've turned mine now
And I ain't coming home

[Bridge]
How a son might never know
Why his father would have chose
To leave behind the only love he's known

[Chorus]
Oh darling in the dying light we'll lose sight
Of all the beauty in our lives we had
So turn your back 'cause I've turned mine now
And I ain't coming home
