across the prairies,
past a million stalks of corn
Just you and me, the cat and dog,
and a baby yet unborn
Camping out in cheap motels,
on a road to better days
In a
Volvo covered wagon,
when each mile had things to say
Thoughts of you still come and go,
I still can see you smile
Some nights your love
still visits me, it's true
Every once in a while
In
Montana, we stopped to watch
Elk grazing in their tracks
Metal ox flew in the breeze
We could hear the river splash
We were livin' our own future
when the fu ture had us sick
Till the prairies faded from our minds,
we all went our separate ways
Days they stumbled into years,
years stumbled into miles
It's true, they stumble back to me,
they do
We were children of the meadows,
the flowers saw our souls
We turned pebbles into diamonds,
we never would grow old
Then we did and had a kid,
she grew up and flew away
Our memories could fill the sky,
so much was left to say
Was it you who kept the dream,
and me who kept the files?
I think about the life we shared so nice
If it was in a while
Were you jealous of my future?
Was I jealous of your past?
When we looked into the present
It wasn't looking back
We knew many others
They can vouch it's true
So much love went its way
But much just stayed with you
We heard mu sic in the branches
We saw mu sic in the waves
How the music catches
How the music can persuade
We breathed in everything we heard
We were young and felt amazed
The future was a million roads
You could take a million ways
One day the angels took you
Not your voice, your grace, your style
Your love sometimes will
find me missing you
Every once in a
while
You
