                     G         A7*
So much silence to my hometown streets
D7Gonna put my cheek to the window and Gwatch it sleep
                           G         A7*
Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees
D7Fight off this north wind and I'll be Gheadin' back east
(chorus)
CLet the BmColorado River Amroll on to the Gsea
         C               BmDsus7**
I will be crossing it in changes
CThis 'ole town never Bmdid really care that Ammuch for Gme
            C             BmDsus7**         G  
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams
It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find
If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine
But you cannot save your past for today
It will leave you cold on an outbound train
(chorus)
Folded memories in my soul
It's that old blue line that you can never go back home
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise
He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line
(chorus)
CLet the BmColorado River Amroll on to the Gsea
         C               BmDsus7**
I will be crossing it in changes
CThis 'ole town never Bmdid really care that Ammuch for Gme
      C             BmDsus7**     G  
I only come here to remember my dreams
