Alberta

I walked out On a mornin' fair Those Rocky Mountains shinin' Shadows drift on frost covered hills Colours on golden tails Crystal rivers Through the valley ran No one's ever owned me It's the first time That ever I've been claimed Alberta is her name I sat down And I wrote to you Said you should be comin' You're never gonna see a sky so blue Drapes of green in the northern sky Wave like flags as the stars dance by Never thought I'd say it She stole my heart And it's easy to explain Alberta is her name The word I got from you Said you won't be comin' For you back home The skies are plenty blue Emerald hills And the rocky shore Are all you need And want no more But you learn to love another Our hearts are true But if we must lay blame Alberta is her name And to you Who wander far Search for rest and comfort 'Cause you can find no soul that's where you are Keep your eyes wide And remember me This ain't the place I thought I'd be But that's how it goes with romance A breath of her and you'll never be the same Alberta is her name Alberta is her name
