Oh, the night time comes on slow in Colorado
Mountains of blue and green
The stars like to whisper little things
And the Moon always sings a song to me

Saying, boy, when you look at the horizon
Won't you tell me what it is you see
Do you have to make up something from nothing
Or is it just the way you knew to be

Singing boy, you're gonna break her heart
If not now, then some time along the way
Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, you know
But boy, you're gonna break her heart
Oh boy, you're gonna break her heart

I told the Moon he lived so far away and lonesome
To you, the earth is just a spinning ball of clay
Where the sky falls, the land is ever-changing
From the mountains to the foothills and the plains

And the morning sky is rich and filled with color
The Sun comes up to even out the day
And when he goes down that tapestry's painted
He's sure to go as quickly as he came

And I know I'm gonna break her heart
If not now, then some time along the way
Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, I know
But I know I'm gonna break her heart
Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart

Oh and the evening sky, won't you tell me why
I'm going away so I know
Come the early morning hours
I'll be miles and miles away from my home
Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart
I'm gonna break her heart
I'm gonna break her heart "
