A High Plains Eulogy

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 bittеr song for dying plains

I heard you scream aloud
Beforе 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
