verse
She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane
verse
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin'
And in the waitress eyes he sees the same ol' light shinin'
He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind
bridge
Oh, well, it's a winding road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover, I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n' 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you, but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back here, baby
outro
When I close my eyes, I see you
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
