"Colorado Blue (Acoustic Version)" lyrics

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 color 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 neighboor's roof
I remember taking photographs
In the cul-de-sac

Oh, I think of you sometimes
Of the snow
And that Colorado winter blue

Then you headed east
And said her name
I read between the lines

I caught a plane to Denver
Your eyes had turned to stone
From that cold appartement window
I saw you fade into the snow

When you left me for her, oh oh oh
You left me in the snow
When you left me for her, oh oh oh
You left me in the snow
