Telluride

When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car
Headed up to the Rockies, took a job at this bar
Selling beer to the locals and just barely getting by
On the tips from the rich kids there on daddy's dimeBut from the moment she walked in one night
I knew I'd be all rightIn Telluride, 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 TellurideWe 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 downIt was a dream we were living in
I was the happiest I'd ever beenIn Telluride, snow falling down
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world was so alive
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
In Telluride, oh yeahIt ended just like a movie scene
And I had to play the part
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave
Me with the frozen heartIn Telluride, 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 goodbyeTelluride, snow falling down
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
In Telluride, oh Telluride
