Take me back to south of Denver

That's the place where I was me

Feels like I've been dead forever

And forever I will be

Take me back to Colorado

Now that time is all I have

And I will be a ghost to other ghosts

And maybe I can live with that

Chalk me up on some old sidewalk

Pin me down in Silver Plume

These days I circle like a sparrowhawk

Around the ones I've yet to lose

I can squeeze a lime with one hand

But I'm still dead as the Delaware

Now every day I dream of Denver

And all of the living I left there
