Alberta Songtext
von The Small Glories

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
