Manitoba Sunrise at Motel 6 - Tami Neilson

Eight thousand miles from home, I just looked it up

This ain’t my bed, my TV, or my coffee cup

Silence fills my head like the snow hits the ground

A line of pillows next to me that never make a sound

O lonesome prairie wind

Won’t you blow me home again?

To the love I left behind

That never leaves my mind

Oh, my head is dark

And my heart feels sick

A Manitoba sunrise at another Motel 6

A Western Star rolls by, someplace it needs to be

Watch the taillights leave for miles, is that how you watched me?

I’m asleep, you’re awake;

I’m awake, you’re asleep

Don’t matter night or day, in my broken heart you beat

O lonesome prairie wind

Won’t you blow me home again?

To the love I left behind

That never leaves my mind

Oh, my head is dark

And my heart feels sick

A Manitoba sunrise at another Motel 6

O lonesome prairie wind

Won’t you blow me home again?

To the love I left behind

That never leaves my mind

Oh, my head is dark

And my heart feels sick

A Manitoba sunrise at another Motel 6
