The Colorado Trail Song

Its nearly 500 miles from Denver to Durango And its
all uphill -- seems its all uphill. And the days are
long, I am weary to the bone. But its the grandest
thing that I have ever done!
And The Colorado Trail Is A little Piece Of Heaven
Where Flowers Sing like Angels To The Colorado Sky
And The Eagle Flies On The Great Divide
And So Go I
On The Colorado Trail
Its step by step, one foot, then the other
And I'm on my way -- I'm on my way,
And somehow that blue horizon in the early morning light
Will be laying down behind me, come the night. (CHORUS)
On shy columbine and aspens all a-shimmer
I will feast my soul -- I will feast my soul.
Where the little picas play and sweet waters wash away
Every care that would keep me in its hold.
And when evening falls, and the coyotes are a-howling
I will lay me down -- I will lay me down
In my cathedral in the pines, with the full moon in my eyes
And diamonds falling 'round me from the sky.
And I found you here, between Denver and Durango,
How you filled my eyes! How you filled my eyes!
You won me, heart and soul, and I am coming home
To walk again the Colorado Trail.
