Autumn's in the Air

Harvest–by Maxfield Parrish

Prairie Nights

Words and Music Copyright 2012 by L. Knox

Another sleepless night–
it's 3 in the morning,
and the house is still

You left me in the dark
without a warning
without the will
to carry on
to carry on
but I'll climb
back up the hill

The sun comes up
it's a brand new morning
it's a brand new day
My mind's full of questions
the words are forming

but I have nothing to say

but  I'll carry on

I'll carry on

through this darkness 

I'll find my way

I miss your laughter

I miss your smile

hope you find what you were after

since I missed it 

by a country mile

by a country mile…

Those big city lights

like a moth to a flame

took you away–

and you changed your name

but these prairie nights

 hold the only stars 

I'll ever see

and that's all right  by me

I work the fields alone

'til my body's breaking

it helps me to forget

Autumn's in the air 

the blue sky's fading

–a sad silouhette

but I'll carry on

I'll carry on

this life

with no regrets
