I try leaving you at home

but every thought returns to you

My head, it seems to roam

no matter what I do...yeah yeah, oh no no



You know it's late right now

and every song sings of us

I guess these singers know somehow

and my life they must discuss...oh yeah



(Chorus)

'Cause I left the pictures of you behind

'cause I didn't want to dwell on you

But even the streets speak your name out here and

in last night's movie too, in last night's movie too



Mountains now in the rear view

as the tired road creeps on and on and on and on and on

Perhaps I'll leave you in Colorado

with this Monday morning fog



But the pictures await me back home, yeah

and there the streets whisper, whisper your name, yeah

escape it seems impossible...sometimes

and I'm the one to blame, yeah I'm the one to blame



(Chorus)

'Cause I left the pictures of you behind

'cause I didn't want to dwell on you

But even the streets speak your, 

your sweet, your sweet name here

and last night's movie too, but last night's movie too



I've tried, I've tried leavin'

I've tried, I've tried leavin'

I've tried, I've tried leavin'

you behind, you behind (whole verse 2x)

...but you wouldn't stay

...but you wouldn't stay

Thank God you didn't.
