4X Stepped off the train, looked into the sky It was deepening blue as the moon was rising Had time to kill, and a letter to send her One lonely boy on my first night in Denver I hit the sidewalks and kept moving Through late night streets, filled with music From dusk til dawn, tryin to forget her A man with a mission on my first night in Denver This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake But I’ve got forever The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again It was my turn, a lesson I learned On my first night in Denver In a diner, I met a soldier Just left his wife and kids back in Boulder The facts of life for a young defender He showed me their pictures on my first night in Denver This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake But I’ve got forever The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again It was my turn, a lesson I learned On my first night in Denver Back on the train, headed westbound To new horizons, with what I know now The sun came up, I sent the letter And wished her a good life, from my first night in Denver This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake But I’ve got forever The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again It was my turn, a lesson I learned On my first night in Denver
