Prairie Girl

When you leave me
Could you leave me just the way that I found you?
In your green dress
The color of the summer all around you

Prairie girl
Years ago I guess I could've told you
But love is slow
'Til the one that's leaving comes around to hold you

I know you know
Or else you would not come to say goodbye to me
So discreet
Just a message in the way you give your eyes to me

Prairie girl
Your mother always thought you were above me
Leaving home
Is that the only way that you could love me?

(Yeah
Yeah
Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-oo
Yeah, yeah)

It's a simple bed
You could turn it to a temple just for one night
Sing to me
Hold your holy lips up to the candlelight

Prairie girl
Are you cold enough to leave the fire burning?
Stay with me
Yeah, and the summer will still be there in the morning
Prairie girl
Yeah, the summer will still be there in the morning
