See the bluebird fly
Easy as a dream
Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun
Could she be the one
I saw so long ago?
Could she be the one to take me home?
This pasture is green
I'm walkin' in the sun
It's turnin' brown
I'm standin' in the rain
My overcoat is worn
The pockets are all torn
I'm movin' away from the pain
Tick tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losin' time
Ring ring
The old church bell
The bride and her love
Seeking guidance from above
Amber waves of grain
Bow in the prairie wind
I'm hearin Willie singin' on the radio again
America the beautiful (that song from 9/11)
Keeps ringin' in my head
I'll always remember somethin' Chris Rock said
Don't send no more candles
Whatever you do
Then Willie stopped singin'
And the prairie wind blew
The grain kept rollin' on
For miles and miles
The fields of fuel
Kept rollin' on for miles
Tick tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losin' time
Ring ring
The fallen soldier bells
The old church on the hill
Still standin' when so many fell
Back when I was young
The birds blocked out the sun
Before the great migration south
We only shot a few
They last the winter through
Mother cooked them good and served them up
Somewhere a senator
Sits in a leather chair
Behind a big wooden desk
The caribou he killed
Mean nothin' to him
He took his money
Just like all the rest
Tick tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losin' time
Ring ring
Ring the wedding bells
The bride takes her ring
And the happy people sing
(Thanks to John for these lyrics)
