Jennifer Warnes - Prairie Melancholy lyrics



The moment we said good bye

Silence tore across the sky

The riverbed by wide and dry

As far as I could see

And someone said

My ghost was found

Laying her burden down

Taking the long way around

Underneath the moon…

Somewhere on the prairie,

A little cross in mine

A simple wooden marker

With a plastic rose is entwined

And in the stillness of the twilight

As the tumbleweeds wind

I am crawling like a scorpion

across the melancholy time

so shred the poems

let the wild birds chase them in the breeze

let them make their nests

from words like “please?

put those dreams to rest

throw them at the moon

blow the confetti across

the golden west

I was the fragrance in the wild flower

Opening for only you

In the delicate hour

Before the cold shot through

Ten thousand years from now

You’ll put your hand in mine

Remembering a fragrance

Full of melancholy time

You see those ravens breaking the prairie sky?

We used to go where ravens fly

Our giddy laughter made the angels cry

to fly as free as you and i

somewhere on the prairie

a cross, a rose, a shrine

standing for true love

gone before its time

there goes your shadow down the highway

out that road I could’t fine

while I crawl like a scorpion

slowly to the new word

across these miles of prairie

full of melancholy time
