1. |
There's a Cabin alone
on the Prairie. |
|
Must have been there a hundred years or
so |
|
And the wind's blown away all the shutters |
|
And the roof's falling down with the snow. |
|
|
2. |
Surrounded by tall grass and sage brush |
|
Underneath the biggest sky you've ever
seen |
|
The cabin is all that is left there |
|
Just a marker to somebody's dream |
|
|
chorus |
Who were the people who built it? |
|
What happened? Where did they go? |
|
There's no one to tell me their story
|
|
So I guess that I'll never know |
|
|
3. |
Life must have been hard in that cabin |
|
No water for miles it seems |
|
No trees, no neighbors, no fortress |
|
Just a place they could live with their
dreams |
|
|
chorus |
Who were the people who built it? |
|
What happened? Where did they go? |
|
The cabin won't tell me their story |
|
I can guess it but I'll never know |
|
|
chorus |
Who were the people who built it? |
|
What happened? Where did they go? |
|
The cabin won't tell you their story |
|
You can guess it but you'll never know |
|
|
coda |
The cabin won't tell you their story |
|
You can guess it but you'll never know |
|
You can guess it but you'll never know |
|
|
|
Optional last verse: |
4. |
When the people, the smog, and the traffic |
|
Make you long for a place far away |
|
Just remember that lonely old cabin |
|
And dream that we'll live there some day |
