Colorado was  so nice,
 but I'm  Minnesota's son
 Even when  the cold  winds blow
 in the darkness  and the light
 And the young  folks search  for meaning  here
 and the old  folks know  there's none
 Out your window  you  can see  the world
 Babe it's turning,  and it's gone
And  the stars at night,
why  do they make you cry?
Don't  you think that I'll be coming home?
 Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey
 in all the Steinbeck books you read,
 Where the hobos know the secrets and
 the law turns their head
 We are as close to paradise
 even though you might not hear it said,
 And the Methodists all bring a dish to share
 with the ashes on their head
 And when the sun's in the sky,
 we'll have a class outside,
 Why do you think that I can be so cold?
 I'm not scared of much here anymore,
 wait, friends, that was a lie
 'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you,
 to be alone, high and dry
 And I know you worry,
 about time and money,
 but don't you know those things, they come and go?
 END!!!
