I was a lonely boy   Out there searching   Couldn't find much joy   Too old to fake it   Too young to hide it away      I played the master thief   Stealing the lives of the people I'd meet   Faking away each day so gracelessly      But there's a price that must be paid   You can't hide out every day   Somebody comes along   And blows your cover all away      Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky   And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes   I love your hair smells sweet like pure Rocky Mountain air   Like the big sky shining on a Winnipeg night   Dust in the air and the Northern Lights   All in your country wide soul   I love your country wide soul      You sure walk along slow   That's the only speed I've ever seen you go   You take good care of me as the days go by   Is that the mail train I see   Well I hope it's not carrying any news for me   I just can't see myself on the company line      There's another season gone and lord I'm feeling strong   Got to find a way to keep this dream dreaming on      Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky   And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes   I love your face well it takes me to so many beautiful places   Driving through the night under Prairie stars   Listening to a band in a St. Johns bar   Down by the water on a Halifax shore   Listening to the wind and the ocean roar   Freight train rolling through the Great Divide   The magic in the mushrooms of PEI   All in your country wide soul
