Still the girl sings
The waters are murky
And the skies are growing dark
A girl on the hilltop
Now sings like a meadow lark
The sheep in the fields
Turn to home before the rain
They've got miles to cover
Over hard, rocky terrain
The sun sets in the west
While the moon is on the rise
Sleep comes to the weary
As the girl sings the reprise
Love blooms in the distance
Promises have been exchanged
Life upon prairie lands
Has finally been arranged
Crops have now been planted
And the animals well fed
No one now looks behind
The only view lies ahead
Silence engulfs the nights
None know what tomorrow brings
Peaceful dreams are pursued
And on hilltops she still sings
