Zoe Stroupe - Colorado Bruise Lyrics

Sheltering you but you're not so little
Keeping you soft as my hands get brittle
Climbing up your tower of the Rocky Mountain winter
Up here I reject the other Earths, you stay center
Accepting other worlds think you'll always seem bigger
I will always hold a tender spot for you
My favorite shade of blue
My Colorado bruise
Mmm
Baby in a cradle high atop a tree
Baby holds a cigarette and lets go of me
Says I will never know what she needs
Falls the flower in her hair that I grew all year
Cause she's a bee and she stings
And she makes me unafraid to feel
I will always hold a tender spot for you
My favorite shade of blue
My Colorado bruise
The best worst thing I knew
My Colorado baby, I would never undo
In the chilly air I became snow
In the snow your hands became froze
I don't hate the warmth we couldn't show
Or the garden I couldn't grow on your body
I would've loved you again you know
I would always hold you
I could always hold you
I will always hold a spot for you
And I felt this feeling like I'm happy sick
For the first time since you
I drew a panoply of words since the last time I met you
I feel new
Ooo
I will always hold a tender spot for you
I will always hold a tender spot for you
