Kane's River - Sea Of South Dakota lyrics

Summer days, I'll follow the back roads And walk past a cabin among the weeds A flash of sun from off his hammer The pounding echo of a crazy dream He's never seen the deep, blue ocean Just a couple of sad, old, dusty farms But now he talks of one obsession A boat he calls the "Lost Prarie Star" Couldn't you see that rain pouring down And me right here inside my boat Sailing away to from this watery town And finally catch that breeze Hundreds of miles from any ocean, Dreaming of open seas Upon the Sea of South Dakota Floating past the bank and the general store With island rooftops barely showing Waves breaking on the Badland shore There isn't much here for adventure So run aground between two county lines I think he's searching for direction In the pull of some imagined tide Couldn't you see that rain pouring down And me right here inside my boat Sailing away from this watery town And finally catch that breeze Hundreds of miles from any ocean, Dreaming of open seas Hundreds of miles from any ocean, Dreaming of open seas
