Telluride

When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime But when I saw her walk in one night I knew that I'd be all right in Telluride, the snow falling down I was waking up in that sleepy little town In her eyes my world came so alive I never will forget the moment she arrived In Telluride We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down It was a dream we were living in And I was the happiest I'd ever been in Telluride, the snow falling down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights In Telluride Telluride, whoa-oh-oh It ended just like a movie scene And I had to play the part Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave And me with the frozen heart In Telluride, the snow falling down Standing there alone in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget the day she said goodbye In Telluride, the snow falling down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights In Telluride
