When I Was A Girl In Colorado | Judy Collins (Song)
Content Source/Owner: Judy Collins
When I was a girl in ColoradoRivers danced on canyon wallsPaintbrush nodded in the springtimeI could hear the bluebirds’ calls
When I was a girl in ColoradoWinter held me in its armsSummers rocked me like a loverI could never come to harm
When I was a girl in ColoradoI could conquer anythingI could fly with wings of silverI could whisper, I could sing
Will you take me to the mountainsBefore another summer endsWe can catch the outbound zephyrWe can travel like the wind
When I moved out to the desertForty years to lose my soulSomewhere back there in her riversColorado made me whole
When I go back to the mountainsI always find a windy hillWatch the sunset over Long’s PeakSki those slopes and feel the thrill
Will you take me to the mountainsBefore another summer endsWe can catch the outbound zephyrWe can travel like the windWhen I was a girl in ColoradoI knew enough to fall in loveLike the bluebirds in the pine treesLike the snowfall from above
Will you take me to the mountainsBefore another summer endsWe can catch the outbound zephyrWe can travel like the wind
Like the windLike the windLike the wind
