Colorado Songtext
von Darrell Scott

Colorado, I need healing
From this sorrow I′ve been feeling

Give me old souls with the healing hands
The misunderstood, surely they will understand
It takes a goddess' touch to reach 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
And 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
Well, he shared his Marlboros and I shared my cheese
And his steady eyes were glistening
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 mirror

Well, I closed my eyes and I 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 going to take what little is left of me
Strap me in a plane eastbound for Tennessee
Because 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 winds to dry these tears
I need your silver lakes to be my mirror

So that I might see the fool I′ve been
And maybe I can then begin again
Colorado, Colorado
