This song was written during a visit to Edmonton, Alberta in one of their coldest winters. It reflects on thir long winters and short summers.

Prairie Winds (c) John Johns 2011

Tell me where you come from, Where you’re going to : Before you go, I need to know : You came with spring, Stayed for summer : But now these prairie winds are the harbingers of snow

Chorus : But you’re a free spirit, can’t follow you : Can’t chase the rainbow, can’t know : What you do or where you go

Chorus

I would cross the mountains, try to follow you : Cross the sea, if I were free : But I’ll say goodbye, before the snow flies : And I’ll dream of the places you will see

Chorus

When the cold winds blow, you know it’s time to go : Summer’s reign, ends once again : Too brief it seems, to live our summer dreams : And all too soon you return to your domain

Chorus twice

Can’t chase the rainbow, Can’t chase the rainbow
