Lyrics
Hunted ev’ry canyon
Hidden ev’ry trail
Just the lonely mountains
And prairie ev’rywhere
Seems as tho’ I’ve seen you
Standing off afar
When I race to find you
You vanish into air
Nirewana, tho’ you’ve gone
Till I find you I must go on
Chorus
Day after day
From morning till the twilight is thro’
I keep on calling Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Nirewana, where are you?
Night after night
My signal fire burns on the hill
To tell you that I long for you still
Nirewana where are you?
There’ll come a day
When you’ll be beside me
My heart will guide me
With a love so true you’ll be my own
We’ll roam together over the plain
No more will I be calling in vain
Nirewana, where are you?
