Then It’s White

Oooh, it's been a long long one day

longer than a country mile

stronger than a hurricane

oooh, it's been a long long 

day.



This red barn in the field.

Dusty winds blow round it.

It stands in its place 

firm and tall.



So safe inside am I 

that I can see 

one hundred prairie miles

waving on endlessly.



And papa snores again 

while mama lies awake

silently wondering 

why that grey 

cat that she loved 

up and run away, 

ten years ago one

dusty day just like today. 



Long one day there I lay

under the big windy sky I prayed; 

dear Lord make the flickering hands of fate 

finally flip the page 

to the yellow sun 

of my coming age.



Oooh, it's been a long, long long day....

longer than a country mile

stronger than a hurricane.

Oooh, its been

a long long day.
