Feel of the grass, sun through the trees Passing of day, not a care
Cast your minds eye, back over the field Smell of fresh bread, filling the air
Such was the man, tougher than steel Bolder than men, hope to be
He had a laugh, his smile filled the room Life was so large, one to behold.
Chorus
When the shadows fall they form a silhouette of Prickly Pear Many have lived here, they’ve moved away or now are memories Prickly Pear remain their flowers fall each year on to the ground Now the plow has gone it leans upon a weathered wooden chair, Where he would just stare, and wonder somewhere
