Set the Prairie on Fire
S. Colvin/Elly Brown 

         Full full moon and
         That same sad nature
         I wanna cover every inch of you
         Like ink on paper
         Like the blind parade of souls
         Consumed by religion
         I can't wait 'til I get you 
         In that defenseless position

         Chorus:
         When we set the prairie on fire
         Oh we go down to the water
         Naked and slow
         You and me
         And the heart of desire
         We set the prairie on fire
         How hard will the wind blow
         How far will it go

         When the feeling burns down
         To one solitary color
         The velocity of longing
         Melting into each other
         It's a song our fingers play
         All at once and together
         You can bet we never learned it
         But we've known it forever

         Oh I dreamed that we were flying
         Carried up from the ashes
         Black silhouettes of velvet
         Against the crimson of passion
         We can almost hear the echoes
         From the smoldering meadow
         It's the rapture of the angels
         And the rage of the devil

         Chorus 

         In the cool dusk of horses
         Through the rusted wires of sleep
         With our arms around midnight
         We're headed for release
         We go riding in the wind
         We go riding in the dark
         Go riding, riding

         Chorus
