Alberta

I walked out
 On a mornin' fair
 Those Rocky Mountains shinin'
 Shadows drift on frost covered hills
 Colours on golden tails
 Crystal rivers
 Through the valley ran
 No one's ever owned me
 It's the first time
 That ever I've been claimed
 Alberta is her name
 I sat down
 And I wrote to you
 Said you should be comin'
 You're never gonna see a sky so blue
 Drapes of green in the northern sky
 Wave like flags as the stars dance by
 Never thought I'd say it
 She stole my heart
 And it's easy to explain
 Alberta is her name
 The word I got from you
 Said you won't be comin'
 For you back home
 The skies are plenty blue
 Emerald hills
 And the rocky shore
 Are all you need
 And want no more
 But you learn to love another
 Our hearts are true
 But if we must lay blame
 Alberta is her name
 And to you
 Who wander far
 Search for rest and comfort
 'Cause you can find no soul that's where you are
 Keep your eyes wide
 And remember me
 This ain't the place
 I thought I'd be
 But that's how it goes with romance
 A breath of her and you'll never be the same
 Alberta is her name
 Alberta is her name
