Phoebe Snow Utah Phillips

I saw her name on the side of a train
Somewhere a long time ago
Don't know who she was
But I gave my love to someone called Phoebe Snow

Like a bird on the wing I hear a voice sing
As over the prairies I roll
I'd give my life to spend on more night
In the arms of my own Phoebe Snow

I climbed on board through a wide open door
Just as she started to roll
And I rode so light through the long summer night
In the arms of my own Phoebe Snow

Like a bird on the wing I hear a voice sing
As over the prairies I roll
I'd give my life to spend on more night
In the arms of my own Phoebe Snow

I've spent many a night by the fire
In a circle of stone silent men
And heard the sagebrush whistle and pop
And the coffee boil up in the can

The bottoms were filled with a cool river wind
And the treetops chasing the moon
And I knew without asking to take my guitar
And play up some slow gentle tune
