A High Plains Eulogy Lyrics


Where dreams lay

Shot down

I lay my head on down

These eyes have seen the clouds

They'll say, they'll say it's ours

These eyes have crippled doubt and it's one land they see

One land we dream about, and

It's there for me

I have seen enough

A poor man's dreaming, all alone

When the dust comes raining down

A solemn release is what is found

And when there's nothing left we sing

A bitter song for dying plains

I heard you scream aloud

Before your voice gave out

I'm there where nothing was

This world's gone dark again

I have seen enough to know

To look away

When the dust comes raining down

A solemn release is what is found

And when there's nothing left we sing

A bitter song for dying plains

And when the river's dry and gone

And forests razed won to the ground

Will we remember what was made

Or take it with us to our grave
