Blushing face raised to the bright sky,

Tears have filled her starry eyes;

All that's left to ask now is why,

Why must there be goodbyes?


While he was here she was too shy,

Wondering why it didn't fade, by and by;

No matter how hard she'd try

She couldn't spread her wings and fly.


Now he's gone, on whom to rely?

She's lonely, and that, unable to deny.

The prairies hear a desperate cry

But not even nature itself will whisper a reply.
