about

A song about contrasts, what you think and what you feel, how landscapes can mirror your emotions

lyrics

Colorado

The winter winds of Colorado
Blow from the Rockies to the plains
Stealing every breath like thunder
A man could lose his own name
On the night when the stars fell
Two blankets worth of snow
Deep as night up on Dream Lake
White as any buffalo

Now we’re here in Colorado
And I don’t even know their name
But every worn out trail and ember
Is blue as columbine and flame
She was always in their shadow
For the love of something dark
Colorado I have fallen
On the blind side of my heart
Blind side of my heart

The flatirons of Colorado
Lying on the dark divide
Feather light upon warm skin
Makes a bed fit for a bride
The lightning over Denver
Arcs the mountains with the rain
Weeping softly for two moons
You can hear them call your name

Now we’re here in Colorado
And I don’t even know their name
But every worn out trail and ember
Is blue as columbine and flame
She was always in their shadow
For the love of something dark
Colorado I have fallen
On the blind side of my heart
Blind side of my heart

Tom Fairnie Edinburgh, UK

I live in Edinburgh and I'm a singer songwriter. My style of writing cuts across Americana, folk, country and blues and I try to write melodic, accessible songs that make the best use of my guitar skills to provide sensitive uncluttered arrangements.
