Colorado Blue

I drove you home that autumn day
To your mother's house
The paint was old
The dogs were barking
I sat upon the rug

Oh, I think of you sometimes
Of the snow, and that Colorado winter blue

Your eyes were green
Your skin was darker
Than the color of my own
We took a shower in the dark
Your mother wasn't home

Oh, I think of you sometimes
Of the snow, and that Colorado winter blue

We watched the sunrise over town
From your neighbor's roof
I remember taking photographs

In the colder sack

Oh, I think of you sometimes
Of the snow, and that Colorado winter blue

Then you headed East
And said her name
I read between the lines
I called a plane to Denver
Your eyes had turned to stone
From that colder apartment window
I saw you fade into the snow

When you left me for her, oh, oh, oh
You left me in the snow
When you left me for her, oh, oh, oh
You left me in the snow
