In the heavy curtained Prairie air of summer night

Watching lightning over wheat fields

Through a bedroom window

And the prairie gently rose up

With a feeling and embraced us

And when your lonely heart has learned its lesson

You’d be hers if only she would call

That’s the time you miss her most of
