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
