Ian Tyson again,from his latest,"Yellowhead to Yellowstone"...
...a song to his estranged[and only]daughter...one of the saddest and loveliest of all...

Poplar trees are turning,how long has it been now
since I heard a word from you
since you blessed me with a smile
how long has it been ..

Evertything is so still;I can hear a dog bark
though,like you,he's far away
though like you he's gone from me
how long has it been....

How our horses couldn't wait to run
school bus afternoons in early fall
the races that you always won
through the fields of our dreams...

Now i'm waiting out the flight delays
waiting for the storm to pass
waiting for the sky to clear;and I see your face
I don't think I know you,but I know I love you
... still ......
