When I Was a Girl in Colorado
Whispers of Colorado Dreams: A Journey Through Nature's Embrace
Lyrics
When I was a girl in Colorado
Reflecting on her childhood in Colorado
Rivers danced the canyon walls
Describing the lively nature of rivers against canyon walls
Paintbrush nodded in the springtime
Personifying paintbrushes acknowledging spring
I could hear the bluebirds' calls
Recalling the pleasant sounds of bluebirds
When I was a girl in Colorado
Continuing the narrative of her girlhood in Colorado
Winter held me in its arms
Describing the embrace of winter
Summers rocked me like a lover
Expressing the comforting and gentle nature of summers
I could never come to harm
Feeling safe and secure during her childhood
When I was a girl in Colorado
Reiterating the confidence she had as a girl
I could conquer anything
Believing in her ability to conquer challenges
I could fly with wings of silver
Imagining the freedom to fly with silver wings
I could whisper, I could sing
Expressing the ability to whisper and sing
Will you take me through the mountains
Asking to be taken through the mountains
Before another summer ends
Expressing a desire to experience the mountains before summer ends
We can catch the outbound zephyr
Suggesting a journey with the outbound zephyr (a gentle, western wind)
We can travel like the wind
Desiring to travel swiftly like the wind
When I moved out to the desert
Narrating a move to the desert and the passage of time
Forty years to lose my soul
Reflecting on a long period spent in the desert
Somewhere back there in her rivers
Connecting her soul to the rivers of Colorado
Colorado made me whole
Colorado being integral in making her whole
When I go back to the mountains
Expressing a return to the mountains
I always find a windy hill
Finding solace and excitement on a windy hill
Watch the sunset over Long's Peak
Enjoying the beauty of a sunset over Long's Peak
Ski those slopes and feel the thrill
Reveling in the thrill of skiing slopes
Will you take me to the mountains
Asking to be taken to the mountains again
Before another summer ends
Expressing the urgency before another summer ends
We can catch the outbound zephyr
Suggesting another journey with the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
Desiring to travel swiftly once more
When I was a girl in Colorado
Returning to the theme of her girlhood in Colorado
I knew enough to fall in love
Acknowledging the innocence and experience of falling in love
Like the bluebirds in the pine trees
Drawing parallels between her love and bluebirds in pine trees
Like the snowfall from above
Comparing her love to the gentle snowfall from above
Will you take me to the mountains
Repeating the desire to be taken to the mountains
Before another summer ends
Urging to experience the mountains before summer concludes
We can catch the outbound zephyr
Suggesting another journey with the outbound zephyr
We can travel like the wind
Expressing the desire to travel swiftly like the wind
Like the wind
Reiterating the desire to travel like the wind
Like the wind
Emphasizing the desire to travel like the wind
Like the wind
Final emphasis on the yearning to move swiftly
