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
