Songtext von Wheat Like Waves

Wheat like waves The canadian plains were an ocean wide Flowing to the sky With prefab sprout Echoing out of your ‘90s accord With the mismatched doors Away from the wives For just a few days Traveling ‘cross the divide My delusions ablaze But a homesteader’s life At 45 was just a fleeting dream There’s no way I’d survive The winters in saskatchewan are so cold You talked of your kid How frightened you’d been when she almost died With tears I N your eyes But I could not pretend To comprehend the depths of that kind of love As a childless man And there’s so little time So many miles to drive before the endless sleep Eventually arrives But I never would’ve thought that life was so long That we’d be growing old With stories untold You were kindled by the dials on the dashboard Your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport Speeding like we thought we were escaping From everything we feared that we were breaking By trying to hold them in our hands
