June for Whales - Prairie Arch

Swept beneath the prairie arch
Over Livingstone's range
Crocus bear the tones of March
Living colour arranged
And dabbed in little dots here and there
To lighten up the land

In new days and other ways
There's a shift upon the eyes
Under transient skies

Swept beneath the prairie arch
The floorboards are cracked
It's plain my eyes can follow endless yellow hues
Caught between truth and the decay
On these avenues of yesterday

In new days and other ways
There's a shift upon the eyes
Under transient skies

Swept beneath the prairie arch
Over Livingstone's range
In the yard where Banjo left his last bone
A hundred years ago
Now buried by the stones and dust and dirt
Of lives weathered by the wind

In new days and other ways
There's a shift upon the eyes
Under transient skies

Swept beneath the prairie arch
Over Livingstone's range
And paints peeled off the walls
Flaked in cast-off
Flaked in cast off
Black cast iron pans
Dandelions carpet living rooms
In these palaces of yesteryear
In these palaces of yesteryear
On the prairies here
