Four Corners Lyrics

Terry Allen Four Corners

I remember her in the trailer at night
With her hair all wet and black and rolled up tight
With the ribbons around her fingers
Waiting for her hair
Like the visions of a dreamer
A curling through the air

I remember her blue kimono in the moonlight
Drifting across her breast in the moonlight
And I cupped her in my hands
Just like two rainbows
While she kissed me upon the mouth... of Colorado

Ahhh Colorado
Affectionado
Out of Texas
Yeah down to Mexico up San Diego
California
Arizonia
Yeah to 1 2 3 4 corners of... Colorado

And I remember her anger anchored on the night of sailing
Cause the captain was drunk with a Gypsy bitch on the railing
And with a sigh she cried
Beneath that bastards' boom
But her mast it slashed... like a dagger through the Spanish moon

An I remember her dark deck dancing on a wild new sea
And the moan she groaned rolling from under me
A Spanish bride
Blazing before the dawn
With her back on Madrid... and her belly on Tenochtitlan

Ahhh Colorado
Affectionado
Out of Texas
Yeah down to Mexico
Up San Diego
California
Arizonia
and 1, 2, 3, 4 corners of Colorado

C o r t e-z Colorado
