Arianna Lyrics - Prairieography - Del Barber

Arianna was picking up the pieces 

Just trying to see this night through 

Grey mine dust, sunset rust 

The colours of her mood 

She sweeps up the broken bottles 

Mops the stains from off the floor 

She swears to the stars 

And the grave of her momma 

She can't do this anymore 

Darling let me take you out tonight 

Come dance with me one more time 

I know you're tired of going around the trouble 

There'd be no town without the company 

There's be no work without the iron ore 

There'd be no job for her daddy 

Or his daddy before 

But it ain't enough to force a feeling 

To bring change across her eyes 

Arianna is bound for glory 

This town's just bound for the fire 

Darling let me take you out tonight 

Dance with me one more time 

I know you're tired of going around the trouble
