Calico Skies Lyrics

Cover art for Calico Skies lyrics by Paul McCartney

I love this song so much. I first read it in a book of Paul McCartney poetry and I wasn't sure if he ever made a song from it. Now that I've heard it, I love it even more! I especially like the comparison of lovers to soldiers in the last stanza. It's true, loving someone is dangerous, but if you don't take the risk, there's nothing to live for. Just my thoughts.

@haxorchick Hello, do you know what Calico Skies means in Spanish? I speak Spanish but I can't find the meaning of Calico Skies in Spanish
