John Craigie Coldest Colorado Lyrics
Coldest Colorado by John Craigie
I give my two weeks in two weeks, guess it's way past its time
I never crossed that white river, never felt the other side
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
I've been walking these same streets, I've been under this old spell
And in all honesty, I fear purgatory more than I fear hell
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
All this education, still only one thing that I know
Sometimes you gotta break someone else's heart
So you can grow your own
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
9. My Darkest Lover
All of my songs been thrown far and wide
Some of them may have reached you, darling most of them have tried
On your quiet street, your attic so tall
Surely you heard me singing, somehow through it all
That haunted house we used to sleep in
I heard they fixed it up now it just blends right in
You loved the ghosts, cause they gave you proof
I loved the ghosts, darling but they only came out for you
And you'll walk yourself down the aisle
If you ever walk at all, if you ever walk at all
And you'll give birth to your child, with nothing but a smile
If you ever smile at all, my darkest lover
Something must linger with ya, if your blood still runs
But you can forget me now, you've remembered long enough
We used to fear the road would take my life, but now I know
Of course I'll die out here, darling where else would I die
And I'm sleeping on the tracks tonight, warmed by some recent train
You're warmed by some new man, I guess
I just wanted to know if you were still in love with movement
Cause darling I'm still obsessed
Or did you find your rest
My darkest lover
I never crossed that white river, never felt the other side
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
I've been walking these same streets, I've been under this old spell
And in all honesty, I fear purgatory more than I fear hell
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
All this education, still only one thing that I know
Sometimes you gotta break someone else's heart
So you can grow your own
Or the coldest Colorado, or the hottest Louisi Ann
Or the driest Mojave, I will write you when I can
Every songbird sings its tune, as it chases the waning moon
And I can't follow something that does not move
