Lullaby
words and music by Lisa Derosia
Annie
rides through the teeth of the wind
until makes her cry
I can still bear the weight of this land
Her
voice raw like dirt
From the worry and the work
And the years that she pressed on so blind
But
that’s all little annie knows
To ride on through the dust and sage
That’s all little annie wants
To ride on till her last dying day
The
earth cold and cracked
storm pushing off her back
but her horse is still sure on the trail
But
the winter won’t last
soon she’ll cross that desert pass
singing low to the herd in her stay
When
you are a child
Of the western prairie
Your hands get rough
And your heart gets lonely
When the coyotes cry
Is your lullaby
The
life is too real
Still there’s something she conceals
The ground drinks her tears where she lies
Would
she dare wish for love
On the northern lights above
Or just ride on alone till she dies
