Sometimes I imagine
What it would be like to be the only one left on earth.
It wouldn’t feel like those terrifying horror movies, no
But how would it feel?
I would walk an empty boulevard,
A shadow of the world that used to be.
In every silent room I’d swear I heard a voice that called my name
I’d turn around; there’d be nothing to see.
I would think about the people and the life I used to know
And I would dream remorseful dreams through sun and snow
I’d dream with Colorado skies above me
So wide and so bright
‘Cause there’d be nothing in the world half as lovely
As the air at mountain height
I’d forget even nostalgia
I’d stop regretting even woe
Pervasive loneliness and memories of all I used to have
Would tumble greyly down the road
I’d dream with Colorado skies above me
So wide and so bright
‘Cause there’d be nothing in the world half as lovely
As the air at mountain height
[Interlude]
I’m pretty sure that the end isn’t coming
When I look into your eyes
‘Cause right now there’s something in the world twice as lovely
As even Colorado skies.
