No dear heart, don't cry
Sweetly I've come to realize
I am the prairie
You are the lone desert sky
No dear heart, don't cry
Sweetly I've come to realize
I am the prairie
You are the breeze blown by
I'll send the starlings out to greet you
If the distances defeat you
When the distances defeats me
Tried to feel the warm breeze
But it blows right through me
They'll hear the voice on your song
If it helps me realize
I'll wear your crooked alibis
Still I'll love the lonely desert skies
Farewell, farewell
The prairie heart
You can't hope to tame
The desert vast
