lyrics

Up in the north where the hard winters blow
there lives the woman who gathered my wanderings
Caught in the sway of a song of romance
she knows the movements, she knows the dance

Spinning and turning with her hand on my back
her hand on my back shook the spine of the prairies
and turned all the heads of the gathering crows
flocking down south from refinery rows

Come home now my darling, I've been whispering your name
I been hearing your voice in my dreams
i went to dance with an honest girl
and tonight I will see her again

Hers are the hands that been haunting my dreams
she is the dream now of every man dancing
I took to the highway for the summertime months
For twenty-nine days I been working the roads

Sailed down the highway on an ocean of grain
an ocean of grain cast me right to your doorstep
Now I know in my heart that wherever I roam
wherever I go I will find my way home

Come home now my darling, I’ve been whispering your name
I’ve been hearing your voice in my dreams
i went to dance with an honest girl
and tonight i will see her again

Speaking as an emeritus professor I'm glad we didn't lose you to a bachelor's degree in psychology -- there's a surplus of those, and a library card can be as valuable as any undergraduate degree -- no, I'm glad you're producing your urgent and timeless music. We need it more than a clutch of degrees. Reuben Roth
