Windows down, stars arrive The desert wind feels right Pull over to the sand Then turn the key And hold my hand When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night Distant pink paints the sky A blue moonrise in your eye A hundred miles more to go But we’re right here Your heart’s my home When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night When we’re alone When we’re alive You lift the weight of the night

I took my time, I wasted years And oh my lonesome heart did grow cold But through the sorrow and the tears An angel came to pardon my soul Yodelay Yodelay Yodelaydeehoo My love for you will never grow old That cold north wind blows wild today The darkness falls and fills me with fear But in my arms you’re here to stay My shining light through shadows appears Yodelay Yodelay Yodelaydeehoo My love for you will never grow old No longer will I roam alone I fear not fire or c-c-cold of stone No demons at my door when I hold Your hand in mine, to carry me home Yodelay Yodelay Yodelaydeehoo My love for you will never grow old Yodelay Yodelay Yodelaydeehoo My love for you will never grow old

On the Colorado river, I trailed an appaloosa rider And she became my bride And there below the mountain I gave my word to stand beside her Till the day I die For ten long years, I loved a stranger For ten long years, I could not go But the Colorado river She keeps on carvin’ through the canyon Down to Mexico Oh the Colorado river runs deep and wide For those who wander far away from home The cool and crystal water Will take the weary far beyond her And carve away the stone For ten long years, I’ve been a stranger I have nowhere to call my home But the Colorado river She keeps on carvin’ through the canyon Down to Mexico I left my heart in rocky Denver Now through the desert I must go And the colorado river She keeps on carvin’ through the canyon Down to Mexico And the colorado river She keeps on carvin’ through the canyon Down to Mexico

I was blinded by the Christ On the road one day I’ve been doin’ what I’m told Though I might betray Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away In the forest of the night There’s a golden throne You may sit there if you like But you’ll be alone Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away Well of water, deep and dark I can hear your call From the highest mountain top Into you, I fall Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away Desert father, cling to me Tell my I am yours Grant me fire, I will sing As long as love endures Feathered serpent of the sun Ancient harp and horn Did I choose the day I’d die When I chose to be born Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away Ooo come away Come away

Oh it took you a lifetime Just to realize a lie You got nothin’ to live for But it’s soon to die It’s not that you’re needin’ Somethin you were denied And it’s not that you’re bleedin’ But that you barely even tried It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now You’re barely believin’ What you swore on before And you know that you’re leavin’ But you don’t know what for You gave up on angels That you could not foretell Now it’s too late for heaven Better make due with hell It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now It’s over now
