Where Did You Go?

LYRICS:
Wiping tables since age 16 is my claim to fame.
In dingy dives and bars, forgot their names….But
There’s a roadhouse and a cowboy my thoughts are pulled back to.
We wove our dreams with threads of red and blue.
We shared loving secrets on a rug from Navajo.
Steamy magic on the high Plateau.

Oh, Shawn, where did you go?
Do you think of me and that rug from Navajo?
In your lonely hours surely you’re heart knows.
Where did you go?

My last view of Shawn he drove up the San Juans.
I sighed into the dawn ‘til he was gone.
I learned this lesson early, men take lovin’ freely.
Boots by my bed will surely leave.
My heart has been through many lonely canyons.
I’d hope this time he’d be my companion.

Fire tore me loose from that Colorado town.
Had to fight through smoke and flames to pull that old rug down.

Way down the road in another one-horse town.
Far from the place where beauty’s all around.
That old rug reminds me, I thought Shawn was true.
The worn-out threads matched his eyes of blue.
The mystery hidden in the story of the weave.
Will never reveal why he had to leave.
