Oh, the night time comes on slow in Colorado Mountains of blue and green The stars like to whisper little things And the Moon always sings a song to me Saying, boy, when you look at the horizon Won't you tell me what it is you see Do you have to make up something from nothing Or is it just the way you knew to be Singing boy, you're gonna break her heart If not now, then some time along the way Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, you know But boy, you're gonna break her heart Oh boy, you're gonna break her heart I told the Moon he lived so far away and lonesome To you, the earth is just a spinning ball of clay Where the sky falls, the land is ever-changing From the mountains to the foothills and the plains And the morning sky is rich and filled with color The Sun comes up to even out the day And when he goes down that tapestry's painted He's sure to go as quickly as he came And I know I'm gonna break her heart If not now, then some time along the way Well, there might be a palace in this fairy tale, I know But I know I'm gonna break her heart Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart Oh and the evening sky, won't you tell me why I'm going away so I know Come the early morning hours I'll be miles and miles away from my home Oh I know I'm gonna break her heart I'm gonna break her heart I'm gonna break her heart "
