about

They say that prairie boys make good sailors, because the endless ocean reminds them of the fields of home.

Homesick on the island country of Taiwan, this song was born gazing out the window of a bus traveling along the southern coast. Raised on a farm in SE Saskatchewan, all but 2 of my 24 years had been lived in the wide open spaces of that province and I felt slightly claustrophobic in Asia (though I did love the adventure). The vast expanse of ocean gave me comfort in not being hemmed in.

lyrics

Prairie Soul by Colleen Taylor McCubbin

I’ve been away from the prairie for a long time now,
But it never leaves my soul
I feel the rhythm of the grain blowing in the wind
When I watch those big waves roll

I love the sea for it’s broad never-endingness
Waves rolling wild and free
Away from the city I dream of the prairie
Expanses are calling to me

Feed my prairie soul
Make my senses overflow
Take me to the fields
Run with the wind
Sky take me in

How I look forward to wide open spaces
And driving for hours on end
Loved ones awaiting me, pouring me coffee
And silence, a beckoning friend

Feed my prairie soul
Make my senses overflow
Take me to the fields
Run with the wind
Sky take me in

If I never stand on another mountain
If I never live in a crowded town
If I only look from a distance
I won’t frown, sit me down and …

Feed my prairie soul
Make my senses overflow
Take me to the fields
Run with the wind
Sky take me in
