Welcome to the Spring
(Bob Nolan)
When the prairie doves are wingin’ on the zephyrs of the wind,
And the lobo wolf is callin’ where the timberline begins,
When the painted sunset fills the sky where stormy clouds have been,
That’s the rollin’ prairie’s welcome to the spring.
Every trail I travel, they unravel leading me to you.
Sunlight beamin’, cowboy dreamin’,
Hope you’re dreamin’, too.
If the song I sing is answered from the purple mountain’s rim,
That’s the rollin’ prairie’s welcome to the spring.
Springtime is wedding ring time.
Cowboys on the roam turn their thoughts to home.
Yearning for his returning,
Someone waits beyond the mountain’s dome.
Bob also wrote the following verse to the song ~
Each trail I travel, they unravel leading me to you.
Sunlight beamin’, cowboy dreamin’,
I hope you’re dreamin’, too.
If this song I sing is answered from the purple mountain’s rim,
That’s the rollin’ prairie’s welcome to the spring.
