When I was 19 I threw my stuff in the car I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar Sellin' beer to the locals, just barely gettin' by On the tips from the rich kids there on daddy's dime But when I saw her walk in one night I knew that I'd be alright In Telluride, the snow fallin' down I was waking up in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget the moment she arrived in Telluride We spent that whole winter tangled up by the fire Castin' shadows on the cabin wall, drownin' in desire Confessin' all our secrets, and laughin' out loud So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down It was a dream we were livin' in I was the happiest I'd ever been In Telluride, the snow fallin down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride It ended just like a movie scene And I had to play the part Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave And me with a frozen heart In Telluride, the snow fallin' down Standin' there alone in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget that day she said goodbye In Telluride, the snow fallin' down Waking up with her in that sleepy little town In her eyes, my world came so alive I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride, oh In Telluride, yeah, yeah Telluride, oh Telluride, oh Telluride

Even if I was lonely, even if I was broke Even if all the dogs in the pound let me know Sayin', "It's never over, it never ends" Grab the guns and the ammo, let us descend To the darkest of prisons, and break their defense We will rattle the cages, rules will be bent Oh, remind us our days are all numbered not spent And peace, it comes easy, like mist on a ridge Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out All the worries folks tell us, to break all our ties To our families and loved ones, we leave when we fly To these cities we think we need in our lives Oh, you Manhattan jungle, you tangle our pride Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out All the buildings, they lean and they smile down on us And they shout from they roof tops, words we can't trust Like, "You're dead, you are tired, you've ruined, you're dust" Oh, you will amount to nothin', like tanks full of rust But we scream back at them from below on the street All in unison, we sing, "Our times, been redeemed We are all of the beauty, that has not been seen We are full of the color, that's never been dreamed" Well, nothin' we need ever dies Well, nothin' we need ever dies Well, nothin' we need ever dies Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out Breathin' in, breathin' out, it's all in my mouth Gives me hope that I'll bleed somethin' worth bleedin' out

Fake roses on the mantle Elvis postcards on the fridge Ed lays softly by the ringer Baby's sleeping in the crib Old broken taped up tail light On momma's Monte Carlo She don't open all the gas bills Just leaves it on the dashboard It's a low and lonesome song When the wind sweeps through the pine She just turns the TV on Puts her mind on better times Takes the long way home from work Car parked on the wrong side of the bridge Country gold, Saturday night, and smokes one You don't have to tell me any of this It's a low and lonesome song When the wind sweeps through the pine She just turns the TV on Puts her mind on better times Your heart is breaking I hear what you're saying You don't have to tell me anything He won't come around again She don't open that front door She hears that low and lonesome sound She don't answer anymore.

I let you go And hoped you'd come back Hoped you'd come back to me Oh I let you go And hoped you'd come back Hoped you'd come back to me I let you go And hoped you'd come back Hoped you'd come back to me Oh I let you go And hoped you'd come back Hoped you'd come back to me Cause leaving ain't as easy as it used to be You wear my heart on your sleeve Oh I let you go Hoped you'd come back to me Letters that I write You won't find you lonely Won't find you thinking about me Oh I let you go And hoped you'd come to me
