lyrics

When it rains it snows in this prairie town
There’s a good three inches on the ground
It seems I’ll be losing any peace I’ve found

I see your face all over this town
But I know you’re nowhere to be found
You’re far away you’re safe and sound

Far from this prairie town
Far from this prairie town

So leavin’ seems the thing to do
When I’m here I’m lost in thoughts of you
And in my dreams I’m city bound

But when you ask me to come to you
To leave these fields and these skies of blue
You know I’d be leavin’ my sacred ground

Leavin’ this prairie town
Leavin’ this prairie town

No one’s love comes close to yours
Nothing’s like it was before
My eyes are heavy and my heart is sore

Leavin’ this prairie town
Leavin’ this prairie town

When it rains it snows in this prairie town
And we just watch it fall to the ground
And wait for love to come around

So ask me in that way you do
And I’ll leave these fields and I’ll come to you
You can watch my heart as it breaks in two

I’m leavin’ this prairie town
I’m leavin’ this prairie town
