[Verse 1] The willow bends where the river sings A lone crow cries as the cold wind clings Dust on my boots Miles to go In the heart of the land My roots still grow [Chorus] Oh Winds of an open plain Sing me your sorrow Sing me your pain Carry these whispers past fields of grain Till the earth and the sky meet again [Verse 2] Clouds roll heavy The twilight fades Shadows stretch on this road we’ve made The scent of pines The mountain’s face Every turn holds a fleeting grace [Chorus] Oh Winds of an open plain Sing me your sorrow Sing me your pain Carry these whispers past fields of grain Till the earth and the sky meet again [Bridge] A coyote calls in the distance low Under the stars where the wild things go Old campfires left scars in the ground Echoes remain No walls to surround [Verse 3] The stories passed where the rivers run true Bind me to earth and the heavens blue Threadbare hands But a soul so wide Like the prairie grass that can’t be tied
