What we put before but love and the rain And the wide open plain? What we choose to take, what will remain On the wide open plain? From the skies on high, nothing has changed Stars appearing out again In a wave of wind, a flood of rain We are washed, grain by grain You will not hide inside the shadows When the day begins again Won't be watching from your windows In the wide open plain ♪ Oh, they come to me, one by one In the little time remains I felt the state of deeds I'd done By which I'd hoped to gain The melodies of the songs unsung Are drawn out slow with pain And swelled beyond horizon lines On the wide open plain You will not see me up and running For there are no heights to gain We will surely see it coming In the wide open plain ♪ We stand once more on the golden shores Still in stony train The sea of glass, the sea that roars Where all our spoils are drained What now and ever deeply lie Anchoring our chains And divide us endless, depthless from The wide open plain I wake up trembling in the morning To a cold and soundless rain I know beneath these streets aborning Is a wide open plain
