Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

Prairie Town

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 leaving 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 if you ask me to come to you

To leave these fields and these skies of blue

You know I'd be leaving my sacred ground

Leaving this prairie town

Leaving this prairie town

No one's love comes close to yours

Nothing's what it was before

My eyes are heavy and my heart is sore

Leaving this prairie town

Leaving 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

And watch my heart as it breaks in two

I'm leaving this prairie town

I'm leaving this prairie town
