lonely fields
prairies wakened by the wind
so many miles to the line

blue-eyed skies
roads and rails without an end
so many miles to the line

sunflower plains
sunflower plains
someday my darlin will be mine

time will bring
new horizons round the bend
and maybe with some peace of mind

so I will stay
wide awake to comprehend
all those miles to the line

sunflower plains
sunflower plains
someday my darlin will be mine

far apart
still my heart grows fonder
every single day
from this side of the world

the wait is long
but it cannot divide between us
our time will come

and now I cry
in an airport in L.A.
wishing you were by my side

but I will wait
and till the sun brings in the day
we’ve tread those miles to the line

sunflower plains
sunflower plains
someday my darlin will be mine

sunflower plains
sunflower plains
someday my darlin you’ll be mine
