Girl in Saskatoon
Journey of Love: Freezing but Burning for the Girl in Saskatoon
Lyrics
I left a little town
Leaving a small town
A little south of Hudson Bay
Located south of Hudson Bay
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
Unable to find reasons to stay
I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal doom
Battling harsh conditions in a desolate area
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon
Heading to marry a girl in Saskatoon
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place
Realizing the irreplaceability of the girl
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
Expressing intense feelings for the girl
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
Anticipation of seeing her brightens spirits
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
Enduring cold but burning passion for the girl
South and West and following the cold December sun
Traveling south and west pursuing the December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Resting in Carragana after daily travels
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
Continuing the journey under the morning moon
A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon
Returning like a prodigal to the girl in Saskatoon
Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
Discovering a trail hidden beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
Completing the final miles where prairie lilies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
Seeing a church steeple gleaming in the prairie moonlight
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
Experiencing conflicting emotions for the girl
My journey was forgotten
Forgetting the hardships of the journey
When I held her in my arms
Finding solace in holding the girl in arms
My wanderlust was stifled
Suppressing wanderlust through the girl's charms
By possession of her charms
Finding warmth even under the church steeple
And even beneath the steeple
Experiencing eternal spring with the girl
Where we couldn't wait till June
Impatiently waiting for June beneath the steeple
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
Discovering everlasting renewal with the girl in Saskatoon
