Well you were just a child, and I felt so old.
Although not exactly wise.
I felt more like a book, yellowed with time.
And the longer you took to read through my pages
the more you would find that I was not like you babe.
And you were on the road on a hot desert day.
And I was traveling alone.
And we swam in the blue Colorado by day,
and slept on the sand.
And I was so into you, that I wanted to love you
and make you my man, but that was not like you babe.
And you know that I know you’ve got a more permanent lover.
You told me she lived in St. Louis or Boston or Denver,
I really don’t remember.
And my mother had just died in June of that year.
But I felt so alive. I felt like she was there,
in the warmth of the sun and the cool of the air.
And I wanted to love you and love everyone.
And I felt like a newborn babe.
And I never felt so free like I did in those days.
And you were so good to me.
And if you changed my way, well that’s cause I let you in.
And I’m honored to say that I met you
and knew you and I was your friend.
And you changed my way when I let you in.
You changed my way, then you walked out again.
And I still think about you babe, all about you babe.
And you know that I know you’ve got a more permanent lover.
You told me about her, I thought I would never recover.
But time’s doing wonders.
