Prairie Rose
BRYAN FERRY, PHIL MANZANERA
Texas oh that's where I
Belong
It seems to me
Lonesome star
Shine on
The big country
With open skies
And you
For company
Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be
Hey hey you can take it from me
Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see
Hey hey oh what a state to be in
Hey hey you're tantalizing me
Texas I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
A song of praise
To you
My prairie rose
Though I'm not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Oh prairie rose
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey you can take it from me
Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see
Hey hey I'd better leave right away
Hey hey I can hear you calling me
Hey hey Prairie rose [Repeat: x3]
Hey hey
I hear your voice
And it keeps me
From sleeping
Prairie rose
Hey hey Prairie rose [Repeat: x5]
