Lyrics
I drink my water from a cleft in the stone
I see the Spirit in a way of my own
I hear the voices over mountains within
I never suffer, Lord
And I never sin
I never suffer, Lord
And I never sin
I take my whiskey in a glass upside-down
I don't go swimming, I'm afraid I might drown
Speak of me kindly and whisper my name
I am the prairie, Lord
And I am the flame
I am the prairie, Lord
And I am the flame
My eyes are blue
My sun is round
The moon is bright
I keep my hands
Tucked in the ground
All through the night
Waiting for roots to grow
I speak with Jesus and a bear in my sleep
I wake up tired and the talk don't come cheap
I write the spells all down in my secret book
I'll lend it to you, Lord
But you'll never look
I'll lend it to you, Lord
But you'll never look
My eyes are blue
My sun is round
The moon is bright
I keep my hands
Tucked in the ground
All through the night
Waiting for roots to grow
The apple trees are growing apples again
I haven't seen the Fall since I don't know when
A child was singing when I woke in the sun
A woman smiling, Lord
And called me sweet one
A woman smiling, Lord
And called me sweet one
