I woke alone this morning

Just your pillow at my side

Feeling that cold cold lonely

Front door standing wide

I knew you had to slip away

Or life this life a lie

And find your way back home again

To a place with clear blue sky

Colorado

Colorado

I hear you gone home

I always dreamed you’d be there

‘til the starts fell from the sky

‘til the angels in the heavens

Hung their head and cried

‘til the morning dew upon the land

Lay glistening like gold

‘til the breeze down from the mountain

Touched your very soul

Colorado

Colorado

I hear you gone home

Bridge

I’ve been looking for you out there

Down past Abilene

Hopin’ that I’d see you

As I walk down this quiet street

I want to hear you call my name

Sweet like a simple song

So I could say I love you

And I’m sorry it all went wrong

Colorado

Colorado

I hear you gone home

I woke alone this morning

Just your pillow at my side

Feeling that cold cold lonely

Front door standing wide

Colorado

Colorado

Colorado

Colorado

I hear you gone home

I hear you gone home
