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 neighboors 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
