Lyrics
Shadows fall on the prairie
Day is done and the sun
Is slowly fading out of sight
I can hear, oh so clear
A call that echoes in the night
Yes I hear, sweet and clear
The call of the far-away hills
There’s no rest on the prairie
There’s no rest for a restless soul
That just was born to roam
Who can say, maybe way out there
My heart may find a home?
And I hear, sweet and clear
The call of the far-away hills
There are trails I’ve never seen
And my dreams are getting lean
And beyond the sunset there are brand new thrills
When a new dream or two may be just one star away
I must obey the call of the far-away hills
