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 |
