Colorado Blue

Alela Diane

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 colour 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 neightboor'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 intimist (?)
And said her name,
I read between the lines
I called a plane to Denver
Your eyes had turned to stone
From that colder appartement window
I saw you fade into the snow

When you left me for her ohohoh
You left me in the snow
When you left me for her ohohoh
You left me in the snow
