Prairie Wedding

Mark Knopfler

Transposer:

Intro : We only knew each other by a letter I went to meet her off the train When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still She was standing there and speaking my name I guarantee she looked like an angel I couldn't think of what I should say But when Adam saw Eve in the garden I believe he felt the selfsame way I handed her up on the wagon And I loaded up her trunk behind She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair And I tried to get a hold of my mind Do you think that you could love me Mary Do you think we got a chance of a life Do you think that you could love me Mary Now you are to be my wife We finally headed out of the station And we drove up the home trail And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm I thought my resolution would fail And I froze as she stepped in the doorway Stood there as still as could be I said I know it ain't much, it needs a woman's touch Lord she turned around and looked at me Do you think that you could love me Mary Do you think we got a chance of a life Do you think that you could love me Mary Now you are to be my wife Instrumental :(Bis) We had a prairie wedding There was a preacher and a neighbor or two I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring And the both of us said I do When the sun's going down on the prairie And the gold in her hair is aflame I say do you really love me Mary And I hold her and I whisper her name Do you think that you could love me Mary Do you think we got a chance of a life Do you think that you could love me Mary Now you are to be my wife Finale :

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un homme qui rencontre une femme qu'il n'a connue que par lettres. À leur première rencontre, il est émerveillé par sa beauté, la comparant même à un ange. Ensemble, ils s'installent sur une ferme, et il se pose des questions sur son amour pour elle et leur avenir commun. Leur mariage a lieu dans une prairie, entourés de quelques proches, soulignant la simplicité et la tendresse de leur union. Le récit nous plonge dans l'émotion d'une nouvelle vie ensemble, ponctuée par l'interrogation sincère sur l'amour et l'engagement. C'est une belle illustration de l'amour qui naît et se renforce à travers des moments simples et authentiques.
