Colorado was so nice,
|
but I'm Minnesota's son.
|
Even when the cold winds blow
|
in the darkness and the light.
|
|
And the young folks search for meaning here,
|
and the old folks know there's none.
|
Out your window you can see the world
|
Babe it's turning, and it's gone.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And the stars at night,
|
why do they make you cry?
|
Don't you think that I'll be coming home?
|
|
Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey in all the Steinbeck books you read,
|
Where the hobos know the secrets and the law turns their head.
|
We are as close to paradise even though you might not hear it said,
|
And the Methodists all bring a dish to share with the ashes on their head.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And when the sun's in the sky,
|
we'll have a class outside,
|
Why do you think that I can be so cold?
|
|
I'm not scared of much here anymore,
|
wait, friends, that was a lie.
|
'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you,
|
to be alone, high and dry.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I know you worry,
|
about time and money,
|
but don't you know those things, they come and go?
|
