Light on the Land
Well it's raining like hell
20 miles east of here, black clouds
dragging grey skirts along
the highway empty and flat
sort of goes that way, and back
maybe hailstones the size of apples
this time, but over here, west
partly cloudy and the sun is warm
but the wind it
feels a little heavy and damp
change is going to come along
pretty quick
does in such a big place
the ceiling is awful low here
yeah, the prairie is so flat
you naturally want to stay low.
Tom McCarthy, 2002
