Lyrics
saskatchewan
(s-skch-wän, -wn) A province of south-central Canada. The French established trading posts in the area c. 1750, but the first permanent settlement was made by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1774. The region became part of the Northwest Territories in 1870, joining the Confederation in 1905.
firelight and trees: heart's delight
population 10,000
when crawling out of the prairie might be
driving the roads of saskatchewan
where every paved mile is you
every unknown turn is you
grateful can't be sure
of the one she likes
if it's nearer than this
heart's delight
now she's empty and racing
out into the country
into silent fields
of forever wasting
where every paved mile is
every unknown turn is
nights are full of stars impeding
harvest, rush, the clouds
are feeling unorthodox tonight
and she is fading out of this clear morning
and she is feeling unorthodox
tonight
saskatchewan
is bleeding faith
in raindrops
in just gods
in something she has
never heard of
where every paved mile is you
every unknown turn
is you
