lyrics

Stack the dishes in the sink and pour a glass of wine
I’ll call the man about the washer next week if I find the time
Oh the moon is out there somewhere I just don’t see it tonight
No, the only glow in my kitchen window is the kitchen light

It was 12 years ago we came across the Great Divide
It’s been 9 years since we settled down, oh how time flies
And the boys are both growing big, like boys are meant to do
Yeah all the dreams we thought were good enough are finally coming true

But, I always thought Colorado would be so above it all
I thought that standing here on the top of the world
We’d hear the rain before it falls

Now, Doreen called me yesterday, reminiscing about our youth
And she said “lately honey I’ve been finding meaning in new kinds of truth.”
I said, “Yeah, well I just want to learn to stand up straight without feelin’ like my head’s in the clouds.
I’ve got to find a way to find my self without loosing touch with everyone else.”

And well, I always thought that Colorado could be so above it all
I thought that standing here on the top of the world
I’d hear the rain before it falls

Now he calls me his guardian angel. Says that I’ve been set on Earth.
To straighten out this crazy twisted, messed up world.
Well, if I really had those wings I’d fly right on into the sky.
It’s not that I’d ever want to leave, I’ve just never been that high.

Yeah, I always thought Colorado would be so above it all
I thought standing here on the top of the world
We’d hear the rain, before it falls.

Now, I stack the dishes in the sink and pour another glass of wine
Yeah, I’ll call the man about the washer next week if I find the time
I know the moon is out there somewhere. I just don’t see it tonight.
Oh, the only glow in my kitchen window is the kitchen light
