Colorado Blue

I drove you home that autumn day

To your mother´s house

The paint was old, the dogs were barking

I sat upon the rug

Oh, I think of you sometimes

Of the snow and that Colorado winter blue

Your eyes were green

Your skin was darker

Than the colour of my own

We took a shower in the dark

Your mother wasn´t home

Oh, I think of you sometimes

Of the snow and that Colorado winter blue

We watched the sunrise over town

From your neighbour’s roof

I remember taking photographs

In the cul-de-sac

Oh, I think of you sometimes

Of the snow and that Colorado winter blue

Then you headed east

And said her name

I read between the lines

I called a plane to Denver

Your eyes had turned to stone

From that cold apartment window

I saw you fade into the snow

When you left me for her, oh-oh-oh

You left me in the snow

When you left me for her, oh-oh-oh

You left me in the snow
