Girl in Saskatoon – Single Version

February 22, 2011

Lyrics

I left a little town
A little south of Hudson Bay
I couldn’t find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal doom
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon

I’m glad I realized that no one could take her place
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
But knowing that I’d see her made my spirit bright as June
I’m freezing but I’m burning for the girl in Saskatoon

South and West and following the cold December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon

Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
I’m freezing but I’m burning for the girl in Saskatoon

My journey was forgotten
When I held her in my arms
My wanderlust was stifled
By possession of her charms
And even beneath the steeple
Where we couldn’t wait till June
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
