Prairie Rose Lyrics

Big Country Prairie Rose

------------ (written by Brian Ferry and Phil Manzanera and first released by Roxy Music) Texas Oh that's where I Belong Shine on It seems to me Lonesome star The big country With open skies And you For company Oh prairie rose How happy I should be Hey hey You're tantalizing me 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 In fancy rhyme Texas I will compose Or just plain prose A song of praise To you My prairie rose Though I'm not sure I can explain Your strange allure A crown of thorns A scented flower Oh prairie rose - 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 (3 times) Hey hey I hear your voice And it keeps me From sleeping Prairie rose Hey hey Prairie rose (five times, fading out)
