Colorado

Oh, the night time comes on slow in Colorado

Mountains of blue and green

The stars like to whisper little things

And the Moon always sings a song to me

Saying, boy, when you look at the horizon

Won't you tell me what it is you see

Do you have to make up something from nothing

Or is it just the way you knew to be

Singing boy, you're gonna break her heart

If not now, then some time along the way

Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, you know

But boy, you're gonna break her heart

Oh boy, you're gonna break her heart

I told the Moon he lived so far away and lonesome

To you, the earth is just a spinning ball of clay

Where the sky falls, the land is ever-changing

From the mountains to the foothills and the plains

And the morning sky is rich and filled with color

The Sun comes up to even out the day

And when he goes down that tapestry's painted

He's sure to go as quickly as he came

And I know I'm gonna break her heart

If not now, then some time along the way

Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, I know

But I know I'm gonna break her heart

Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart

Oh and the evening sky, won't you tell me why

I'm going away so I know

Come the early morning hours

I'll be miles and miles away from my home

Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart

I'm gonna break her heart

I'm gonna break her heart "
