 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

So much silence to my hometown streets, 
gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep 
Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees, 
fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east 
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea. 

I will be crossing it in changes 
This ol' town never did really care that much for me. 
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams 
It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find. 
If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine 
But you cannot save your past for today. 

It will leave you cold on an outbound train 
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea. 
I will be crossing it in changes 
This ol' town never did really care that much for me. 
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams 
Folded memories in my soul. 

It's that old blue line that you can never go back home 
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise. 
He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line 
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea. 
I will be crossing it in changes 

This ol' town never did really care that much for me. 
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams 
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea. 
I will be crossing it in changes 

This ol' town never did really care that much for me. 
I only come here to remember my dreams
