Darrell Scott - Colorado lyrics
[Darrell Scott - Colorado lyrics]
Colorado I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
Give me old souls with healing hands
The misunderstood
Surely they will understand
It takes a goddess touch to
Touch a godless man
And get him back to believing
Give me a small-town mayor who should be dead
But, he trades in old guitars and art instead
Well, he brought the fish and
I brought the bread
And he says, miracles still happen
Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
Coyote walks through the light of day
He hides behind a rock like
He had plans to stay
And I never did know just
What he meant to say
But, I can tell you, I was listening
And there was Pedro with
His cigarette sleeves
Full of Friday pay and rattlesnake dreams
He shared his Marlboros and
I shared my cheese
His steady eyes were glistening
And I heard an uplifting sound
In a downtown park
Playing his own tunes on an Irish harp
And he played with just one hand
As the August sky grew dark
The other hand was for a lover
Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
I need your ancient winds to dry these tears
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
I closed my eyes and met this song
And the whole damn state
Of Colorado sang along and I knew right then
That somewhere I belonged
But hey I know I was only dreaming
So I'm gonna take what little's left of me
Strap me in a plane eastbound for Tennossee
Cause a man can only take so much being free
And then he starts to charging
Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
I need Chautauqua wind to dry these tears
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
So that I might see the fool I've been
And maybe I can then begin again
Colorado, Colorado
From this sorrow I've been feeling
Give me old souls with healing hands
The misunderstood
Surely they will understand
It takes a goddess touch to
Touch a godless man
And get him back to believing
Give me a small-town mayor who should be dead
But, he trades in old guitars and art instead
Well, he brought the fish and
I brought the bread
And he says, miracles still happen
Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
Coyote walks through the light of day
He hides behind a rock like
He had plans to stay
And I never did know just
What he meant to say
But, I can tell you, I was listening
And there was Pedro with
His cigarette sleeves
Full of Friday pay and rattlesnake dreams
He shared his Marlboros and
I shared my cheese
His steady eyes were glistening
And I heard an uplifting sound
In a downtown park
Playing his own tunes on an Irish harp
And he played with just one hand
As the August sky grew dark
The other hand was for a lover
Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I've been feeling
I need your ancient winds to dry these tears
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
I closed my eyes and met this song
And the whole damn state
Of Colorado sang along and I knew right then
That somewhere I belonged
But hey I know I was only dreaming
So I'm gonna take what little's left of me

I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
So that I might see the fool I've been
And maybe I can then begin again
Colorado, Colorado
