I was a lonely boy
Out there searching
Couldnt find much joy
Too old to fake it
Too young to hide it away
I played the master thief
Stealing the lives of the people Id meet
Faking away each day so gracelessly
But theres a price that must be paid
You cant hide out every day
Somebody comes along
And blows your cover all away
Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky
And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes
I love your hair smells sweet like pure Rocky Mountain air
Like the big sky shining on a Winnipeg night
Dust in the air and the Northern Lights
All in your country wide soul
I love your country wide soul
You sure walk along slow
Thats the only speed Ive ever seen you go
You take good care of me as the days go by
Is that the mail train I see
Well I hope its not carrying any news for me
I just cant see myself on the company line
Theres another season gone and lord Im feeling strong
Got to find a way to keep this dream dreaming on
Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky
And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes
I love your face well it takes me to so many beautiful places
Driving through the night under Prairie stars
Listening to a band in a St. Johns bar
Down by the water on a Halifax shore
Listening to the wind and the ocean roar
Freight train rolling through the Great Divide
The magic in the mushrooms of PEI
All in your country wide soul
