Blue Prairie
Sons Of The Pioneers Lyrics

Blue prairie,
The blue prairies are in sight.

Blue are the skies.
The sky is blue and clear.

Blue are the sighs,
The winds blow with a melancholy feel.

Of a night wind, callin'.
The night wind makes a symphony of melancholy sounds.

Blue prairie,
The blue prairies are still in sight.

Blue are the hills.
The hills are as blue as the sky.

Blue are the trills,
The night bird's song echoes through the hills and has a melancholy feel.

Of a nightbird, callin'.
The sound of the night bird's song continues through the night.

Every beatin' heart
Every person is affected by a sense of longing.

Beats a rhythm that is blue.
The rhythm of longing is a blue melody.

And the moon has cast
The moon's light adds to the melancholy atmosphere.

A blue reflection on the moon.
The reflection of the moon on the prairies and hills creates a blue image.

So the wind while on it's way,
The wind creates a sorrowful symphony as it moves through the prairies and hills.

Seems to cry and sigh and say
The wind is telling a story of sorrow.

Blue, ooh, ooh.
The melancholy feel of the song continues.

Blue prairie, blue echoes ring
The echoes of the blue prairies and hills continue.

Blue as I sing of a longing
The singer's own sense of melancholy is reflected in the blue landscape.

Blue as you.
The audience shares the same sense of longing as the singer.
