Colorado
Jimmy Rankin


Four thousand miles I wandered out there for a drop of love
Remember we soared like the doves
Now we are strangers
So I stumbled back home like a stone
Once I stood straight and tall
These days I'm building walls surrounded by danger

Hey Colorado
Don't tell me what I know about life itself
Hey Colorado
Wasn't too long ago
Took all your letters down
Passed bits of your heart around
Placed them back safe and sound
Back on the lovers' shelf

Buddha and Jesus and Gandhi
The girl sitting next to me
All say the same you see
Let's talk about love
Look at me pour out my soul in some other's kitchen now
You got what you wanted somehow
You wanted blood

Hey Colorado
Don't tell me what I know about life itself
Hey Colorado
Wasn't too long ago
Took all your letters down
Passed bits of your heart around
Placed them back safe and sound
Back on the lovers' shelf

Your unconscious streams like mythical dreams most appeal to me
What lies deep below in the depths of your soul's what I fail to see
It's all a mystery
It's all a mystery

Hey Colorado
Don't tell me what I know about life itself
Hey Colorado
Wasn't too long ago
Took all your letters down
Passed bits of your heart around
Placed them back safe and sound
Back on the lovers' shelf
