Jennifer Warnes - Prairie Melancholy Lyrics
The moment we said good byeSilence tore across the skyThe riverbed by wide and dryAs far as I could seeAnd someone saidMy ghost was foundLaying her burden downTaking the long way aroundUnderneath the moonSomewhere on the prairie,A little cross in mineA simple wooden markerWith a plastic rose is entwinedAnd in the stillness of the twilightAs the tumbleweeds windI am crawling like a scorpionacross the melancholy timeso shred the poemslet the wild birds chase them in the breezelet them make their nestsfrom words like please?put those dreams to restthrow them at the moonblow the confetti acrossthe golden westI was the fragrance in the wild flowerOpening for only youIn the delicate hourBefore the cold shot throughTen thousand years from nowYoull put your hand in mineRemembering a fragranceFull of melancholy timeYou see those ravens breaking the prairie sky?We used to go where ravens flyOur giddy laughter made the angels cryto fly as free as you and isomewhere on the prairiea cross, a rose, a shrinestanding for true lovegone before its timethere goes your shadow down the highwayout that road I couldt finewhile I crawl like a scorpionslowly to the new wordacross these miles of prairiefull of melancholy time
