Mark Knopfler - Prairie Wedding Lyrics

We only knew each other by letter
When I met her off of the train.
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
Guaranteed she looked like an angel;
I couldnt think of what I should say
When Adam saw Eve in the garden,
I believe he felt the selfsame way.

I handed her up on the wagon and loaded up a trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mind.

*Chorus:Do you think you could love me Mary ?
Do you think we got a chance of a life ?
Do you think you could love me Mary ?
Now you are to be my wife.

We Finally headed out of the station, drove up the home trail
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand om my arm
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 you could love me Mary ?
Do you think we got a chance of a life ?
Do you think you could love me Mary ?
Now you are to be my wife.

(Guitar solo)

We had a prairie wedding,
There was a preacher and a neighbour 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 a flame
I say do you really love me Mary
and I hold her and I whisper her name.

Do you think you could love me Mary?
Do you think we got a chance of a life?
Do you think you could love me Mary?
Now you are to be my wife.
