Song of the Prairie
(Bob Nolan)
I've heard the song of a prairie dove,
I've heard a coyote wail.
I've heard the beat of his tired feet
As he stole down the moonlight trail
Into the night, callin’ his mate,
Callin’, but all in vain
Till the wind that sighs and the prairie skies
Were filled with a sad refrain.
Prairie, garden of purple hue
Covered by heavens blue
Making my worries few,
I’m glad to be here with you
Singing a song.
Moon, just like a maiden fair,
Stardust is scattered there
Over your golden hair,
Its beauty beyond compare,
Singing a song.
Every living thing
Beneath the sky begins to sing,
Till your very soul will ring
With the longing that they bring
In their sighing, crying song.
Wind, breath of an angel’s sigh,
Sending your lonesome cry
Down from a midnight sky.
Heaven is right close by,
Singing a song.
