My Wild Frontier Lyrics
How do I feel? Well, I feel so alone
Like a sad armadillo across this desert I roam
I've been stripped down, bare, 'til I break
Still the wheel keeps turning
Had me a sweet one, I tell no lie
Summer nights in the cornfields
When the corn gets so high
We traveled clear across Wichita, headin' north
Leavin' civilization
And there were highways to get across
And places far from here
And I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier
Harvested peaches in a small border town
Saved all our wages
Put ten percent down
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
Until early December
Then one Calgary morning
Still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
And with one breath said I'm taking him back
To his Father in Heaven
Through gravel and ice and new fallen snow
I held him through my tears
Because I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
And sometimes at night
I swear I can hear him
Calling out so clear
He says, "You were my lonesome prairie
And I'm still your wild frontier"
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
Babe, I miss you
Like a sad armadillo across this desert I roam
I've been stripped down, bare, 'til I break
Still the wheel keeps turning
Summer nights in the cornfields
When the corn gets so high
We traveled clear across Wichita, headin' north
Leavin' civilization
And places far from here
And I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier
Saved all our wages
Put ten percent down
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
Until early December
Still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
And with one breath said I'm taking him back
To his Father in Heaven
I held him through my tears
Because I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
I swear I can hear him
Calling out so clear
He says, "You were my lonesome prairie
And I'm still your wild frontier"
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh
Get along, get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along
Oh, oh, oh

This is a slow, boring song. Not one of Faith's best songs.
Just because it's slow doesn't make it boring! I must disagree with you and say that it is one of her best songs. It captures the magic of the memories they shared in the past and it also potrays her grief. The lyrics are beautiful and Hill sings it outstandingly well. I know you posted this in 2004, but if you happen to read this, have another listen to this song. Maybe it will mean something to you now.

I quite like this song... It's a rather sweet one IMO.
So who's the one that died? The baby or her lover dude?
@randomname07 her lover dude... Her baby was not her lonesome prairie
