Lyrics
PRAIRIE SOLITUDE By Dwight Lakey Intro D…harmonies…A7 D Verse 1 The moonless nights are lonely, living out on the range G The wind is never ending D Unrelenting blowing sands of change A7 As long as stars are above me D They can go ahead and say I’m strange D Verse 2 The days are solitary, so far from the Beach, C-A G Memories of the fun… D Fun…fun by the surf in May A7 They burn inside my skull D Stuck in this trailer on an August day F#m Chorus Cactus flower won’t you bloom again A Like a rose among the spines F#m When a bee finds your sweet-smelling bloom A7 It shouldn’t leave till closing time D Verse 3 The drought can drive you crazy, a lonesome cloud in the sky G A cloud can smell like water D Tantalizing as it sails on by A7 Far from that blossom world D There are no tears left to cry F#m Chorus Cactus flower won’t you bloom again A Like a rose among the spines F#m When a bee finds your sweet-smelling bloom A7 It shouldn’t leave till closing time D Solo on Verse … G … D … A7 … D … F#m Chorus Cactus flower won’t you bloom again A Like a rose among the spines F#m When a bee finds your sweet-smelling bloom A7 It shouldn’t leave till closing time D Verse 4 The sunset in the west, stirs up the light within G Red and purple blossoms D Rhonda, how long has it been? A7 As the darkness falls D The surf comes crashing in A7… D Outro
