ALBERTA CALLS HER HOME
the autumn air is brisk and clean, the painted leaves a timeless scene
for those who ply their dreams round new englandís hills
but westbound rolls a train with my love on board again
as in dreams of her own, alberta calls her home
a friendly smile at first belies the sense of distance in her eyes
as she comes on to play, sing a song or two
but each note, as it fades, renders vain this masquerade
for in sweet, gentle drones, alberta calls her home
fare she well, through the wilds, God protect her, ëcross the miles
keep her warm, as she might be, in new england, here with me
the lakelands of ontario laid far behind
the sunset over manitoba bids goodnight the berms of clover
racing through the prairie lands, her destination near at hand
she rides on through the night, bound for edmonton
and fall to winter fades, while her yankee lover waits
pay no mind, deal is done, alberta calls her home
fare she well, through the wildsÖ
for nothing i could offer here would change her mind
and stayíng with me would only leave her
stranded in a world that bleeds her
that would never do for me, my loved one feeling less than free
and as i bide my time, quite contentedly
i think about her smile, and that laugh that bridges miles
while i wait for the morn, alberta calls me homeÖ
