Colorado Christmas — текст песни (nitty gritty dirt band)

Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel,

Youd never know that it was christmas eve.

The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,

And the temperature is 84 degrees.

I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below

As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene

Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,

And santa drives a rolls royce limosine.



But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air

From telluride to boulder down below

The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere

Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow



I remember christmases when I was just a boy

In the morning I would run to see the tree.

And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy

Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.

Now the sun is setting in the california sky

And I cant find the spirit anywhere

So I think its time for me to tell los angeles goodbye

Im going back home toook for christmas there



But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air

From telluride to boulder down below

The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere

Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
