Prairie Song
Siva : Song List


Song Information
A song intended for Billy's so far unreleased Chicago project.

"I took a break, and decided to play "prairie song," which is a lot easier to play technically. I got myself into the right space, started, and was on a roll emotionally when one of the camera operators shifted in his seat, making a huge squeak that filled the room. I had to stop because it ruined the take. I started over, upset, and started messing up again and again.... I would make it about 45 seconds in and then ! mess up.... I started having a meltdown...."

Lyrics
I will sing for you/a sunday song
Of a prairie lost/to open arms
Consider now the charms that you hold
Inside her belly gold
So follow me/where I go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow

I'm a simple man/i have no one
I walk the streets in dusk/to find the air
Sometimes I dream I'm alone
Asleep on the prairie grass
Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last

Upon the river dread/i drew forth
The very face of death/for her corpse
I played so all within
Would come and watch
A gaze away from her is what i'd bought
So follow me/where I go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow

As my city burns/her boulevards
I seal my love in fate/and now this comes
My prayers are real and I can't rest
To watch prairie songs
From dragon's breath

Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last
The world will sing for us
Now at last/now at last

City long ago/i was your son
I wed your daugter fair
And I was yours
You called me to come
And sift your roads
To sing prairie songs
And keep the cold
So follow me/where I go
To the stuff of sleep/and falling snow
