I remember her in the trailer at night

With her hair all wet and black and rolled up tight

With the ribbons around her fingers

Waiting for her hair

Like the visions of a dreamer

A curling through the air



I remember her blue kimono in the moonlight

Drifting across her breast in the moonlight

And I cupped her in my hands

Just like two rainbows

While she kissed me upon the mouth... of Colorado



Ahhh Colorado

Affectionado

Out of Texas

Yeah down to Mexico up San Diego

California

Arizonia

Yeah to 1 2 3 4 corners of... Colorado



And I remember her anger anchored on the night of sailing

Cause the captain was drunk with a Gypsy bitch on the railing

And with a sigh she cried

Beneath that bastards' boom

But her mast it slashed... like a dagger through the Spanish moon



An I remember her dark deck dancing on a wild new sea

And the moan she groaned rolling from under me

A Spanish bride

Blazing before the dawn

With her back on Madrid... and her belly on Tenochtitlan



Ahhh Colorado

Affectionado

Out of Texas

Yeah down to Mexico

Up San Diego

California

Arizonia

and 1, 2, 3, 4 corners of Colorado



C o r t e-z Colorado
