Oh, the night time comes on slow in Colorado
Mountains of blue and green
Stars like to whisper little things
And the moon always sings her song to me
Saying, "Boy, when you look at the horizon
Won't you tell me what it is you see?
Do you have to make up something from nothing
Or is it just the way you knew it to be?"
Singing "Boy, you're gonna break her heart
If not now, then some time along the way
Well, there might be a palace in this fairytale, I know
But boy, you're gonna break her heart
Oh, boy, you're gonna break her heart"
I told the moon, he lives so far away and lonesome
"To you, the Earth's just a spinning ball of clay
Where the sky falls, the land is ever changing
From the mountains to the foothills and the plains
And the morning sky is rich and filled with color
Sun comes up to even out the day
When it goes down, that tapestry's painted
Is sure to go as quickly as he came"
I know I'm gonna break her heart
If not now, then some time along the way
Well, there might be a palace in this fairytale, I know
But I know I'm gonna break her heart
Oh, I know I'm gonna break her heart
Oh, in the evening sky, won't you tell me why I'm going away so long?
Come the early morning hours, I'll be miles and miles away from my home
Oh, I know I'm gonna break her heart
I'm gonna break her heart, I'm gonna break her heart
