Telluride

When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car

I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar

Sellin beer to the locals, just barely getting by

On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddys dime

But when I saw her walk in one night I knew that Id be all right in

Telluride, the snow fallin down, I was wakin up in that sleepy little town

In her eyes my world came so alive, I never will forget the moment she arrived in Telluride

We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire castin shadows on the cabin wall, drownin in desire

Confessin all our secrets and laughin out loud, so high up on that mountain, I thought wed never come down

It was a dream we were livin in and I was the happiest Id ever been in

Telluride, the snow fallin down, wakin up with her in that sleepy little town

In her eyes my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride

Telluride, whoa-oh-oh

It ended just like a movie scene and I had to play the part

Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave and me with the frozen heart

In Telluride, the snow fallin down, standin there alone in that sleepy little town

In her eyes, my world came so alive, I never will forget the day she said goodbye

In Telluride, the snow fallin down, wakin up with her in that sleepy little town

In her eyes, my world came so alive, I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride
