In the Prairie Sun
               
          There's the smell of beer through the stucco halls
          And the stench of cats on the stairs,
          And the grime discolors the kitchen walls
          And the paint peels off of the chairs.

          But I see you in the prairie sun,
          It's shining on your face,
          I see you in the prairie sun
          In another time,
          In another place.

          All across the alley the clotheslines sway
          And the cold wind lashes the sheets,
          And the sky above is a blackboard gray
          And old wrappers drift through the streets.

          But I'm with you where the wheat fields blow
          With moon and stars and space,
          I 'm with you where the wheat fields blow
          In another time
          And another place.

          There's a baby's cry and a woman's yell,
          And a man is knifed in a fight,
          And the sounds of madness erupt and swell
          And the sirens scream in the night.

          But I see you in the prairie sun,
          It's shining on your face---
          I'm with you in the prairie sun
          In another time,
          In another place.
