Colorado

You beckoned me over

Thank god I hate to make the first move it hurts

I like what you saw in me

With your blue eyes glittery, blouse billowing

You offered me a light

I said no thanks I’m not smoking tonight

We were two ships just passing by

you were leaving at first light

And

Colorado is a long long way to go

Colorado is a long long way to go

 

I have this private dream

That you fly on back to me

We lie beneath the loquat tree

red blanket sun bleached pink

If our lives got put on pause

We could grow our love at no cost

But it’s a thousand fucking miles

You can stop time but it costs a lot

And Colorado is a long long way to go

Colorado is a long long way to go

Colorado is a long long way to go

Colorado is a long long way to go
