I try to recall what it was you said to me just then  but this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep  and I fear come tomorrow I won't even remember your name I'd make myself remember  Make myself recall  but these promises and these vows I made you now  seem to have no voice at all  The color of the canyons  When first it was said I love you  But these colors and these canyons  now all seem silly and small  I don't understand at all  how these colors in my memory just fade  into such a pale shade of gray and cold rails remind me of your cold feet  and my eyes expect to see you behind every door  but when I shut my eyes  I can't even recall what it is that you wore  My god was that only yesterday  I can't even remember your face  I feel so far away I make myself remember  Make myself recall  but these promises and these vows I made you now  seem to have no voice at all  The color of the canyons  When first it was said I love you  But these colors and these canyons  now all seem silly and small  I don't understand at all  how these colors in my memory just fade away  into such a pale shade of gray I say to myself My god I used to love him  I wanted to share with him my womb and my world  But now I stare at him as though through a glass wall  I say I used to love him but now I feel nothing for him at all  My god how could this be  Won't you please explain this to me Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice  And I fear that I have no choice but to forget these flowers  these daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me  the vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together  always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never have  and I know I'm supposed to meet you  I don't even think I'll remember your name tomorrow I make myself remember  Make myself recall  but these promises and these vows I made you now  seem to have no voice at all  The color of the canyons  When first it was said I love you  But these colors and these canyons  now all seem silly and small  I don't understand at all  how these colors in my memory just fade away  into such a pale shade of gray
