Colorado

Wind blew cold
Memories in the trees that have grown old
So it goes
Scattered on the ground
Like the dreams of Colorado

How did we get here?
Far away from the ocean shore
I wasn't expecting this dear
But nothing lasts forever

And oh I imagined a city of hope
These lights strung around all our bodies and soul
And what came to pass, past the stories I've told
Died like the leaves in Colorado

Silent gold
Quiet on the lake
While all the birds have flown home
Wandering alone
Let go

It all takes accepting
This need to feel whole
But we're better off when we know
You can't fix what just ain't broke

And oh I imagined a city of hope
These lights strung around all our bodies and souls
And what came to pass, past the stories I've told
Died like the leaves of Colorado

And oh I imagined a city of hope
These lights strung around all our bodies and souls
And what came to pass, past the stories I've told
Died like the leaves

And oh what I found when I searched the unknown
Was a place that my heart could grow
As I left Colorado, I now understood
To forget everything that I know
