"YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN," by Nanci Griffith
* So much silence to my hometown streets
Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep * Where the shadows fall from sycamore trees
Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east
(chorus)
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me
I don't know why I always come here in my dreams
It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in your wine But you cannot save your past for today It will leave you cold on an outbound train
(chorus)
Folded memories in my soul It's that old blue line that you can never go back home So I'm waiting for the moon to rise He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line
(chorus)
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
I will be crossing it in changes
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me
I only come here to remember my dreams
