about

A subtle acoustic tale that marks the beginning of Marc’s journey to coming out.

lyrics

When he left his home he was seventeen
His hair grew down his back
A runaway with nothing but big dream
Headed west about a thousand miles blowing smoke out on the wind,
With visions of the “me” he might soon be

In his heart he held his secrets close as a shadow
Weighed him down and brought him to his knees
Entangled in a viscid cycle his tongue tied like a noose
Left him hanging silently in need

Oh, oh, the nights grew cold
In Colorado

In the night he’d drown in fear and lie in bed awake
Carried off in fervid fantasies
The fever’d grown for so many a year, with vice he’d drown his pain
But the wars within, they battled, lord they’d rage

The beast it seemed was all consuming there was just one out
Cast his secret sorrows on the wind
He fought the truth to bitter end, but now he’d come of age
The soul of man refuses to be caged

Oh, oh, the nights grew cold
In Colorado

Marc works as a solo artist, and with his Bluegrass/Americana Band The Stonethrowers.
