Knopfler, Mark - Prairie Wedding Lyrics
We only knew each other by letter
I went to meet her off the train
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
I couldn't think of what I should say
When Adam saw Eve in the garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way
I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mind
Think you could love me Mary
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you are to be my wife
We finally headed out of the station
And we drove up the home trail
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
I thought my resolution would fail
And I froze as she stepped in the doorway
Stood there as still as could be
I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch
Lord, she turned around and looked at me
Think you could love me Mary
Think we got a chance of a life
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you are to be my wife
We had a prairie wedding
There was a preacher and a neighbour or two
I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
And the both of us said I do
When the sun's going down on the prairie
And the gold in her hair is aflame
I say do you really love me Mary and
I hold her and I whisper her name
Do you think you could love me Mary
Think we got a chance of a life
Do you think you could love me Mary
Now you are to be my wife

We only knew each other by letter
I went to meet her off the train
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should say
But when Adam saw Eve in the garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way
I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mind
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Do you think we got a chance of a life
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Now you are to be my wife

And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm

Do you think that you could love me Mary
Do you think we got a chance of a life
Do you think that you could love me Mary

And the both of us said I do
When the sun's going down on the prairie
And the gold in her hair is aflame

And I hold her and I whisper her name
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Do you think we got a chance of a life
Do you think that you could love me Mary

Mark Knopfler is the guy
Best song in the album
Dire Strait, la musique qui me fait vibrer ma corde la plus profonde... merci Mark Knopfler
Great choice of getting Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings for this song.
The Greatest Legend of All the Time Mark Knopfler
MK is an incomparable storyteller and impeccable guitar virtuoso ala Chet Atkins. (-:
A fan since I heard the first Dire Straits album in '78.
😁😂😮😍
