about

medium tempo prairie song that is about the relationship the writer has with the land, her indigenous roots and the long light of the summer solstice.

lyrics

Wolf Willow and Alberta Rose Terry Morrison © 2019
The dancer raises dust, see the feathers fly
Pounding on the big drum, the singers cry ay yi yi yi
Sweetgrass drifts upon the air, there is an offering and a prayer.
As I gaze across these prairies at the summers’ fading light
Feels like time stretches on forever, the day becomes the night
Here in the sunsets’ glow, I catch the sweet scent of wolf willow and Alberta rose.

Somewhere inside of me I hear the ancient ones
Telling stories of this land that I am walking on
Deep within my bones, my grandmothers’ song
A whispered memory of a time long gone
As I watch the wood smoke curling, in a darkening sky
My heart it beats a rhythm, my breath becomes a sigh
Here in the sunsets’ glow, I catch the sweet scent of wolf willow and Alberta rose.

I hear the echoes of the hoof beats of a thousand buffalo
Running wild across these territories not so long ago
Now fences cross this land they used to roam.

The car raises dust, along this gravel road I fly
The pumpjacks paint a silhouette, against the evening sky
Through falling dark, I hear coyote cry ki yi yi yi
I dream of endless empty plains, I open up my eyes
To the crickets and the night hawk singing their refrain
Here in the sunsets’ glow, with the sweet scent of wolf willow and Alberta rose.
Here in the sunsets’ glow, I catch the sweet scent of wolf willow and Alberta rose
