climbing up, on a hill that they knew well
and on that hillside, like shadows they fell
long before, the need for bow and shield
when hope spread out like a Tennessee field
don't wait for me, in our spot by the giving tree
you won't find my spirit here, oh my heart, find it hard
and i leave with so, so many things undone
would you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of
and i never noticed how the wind, will never speak of me again
regret and i, we walk alone again tonight
in the place we made, we made our pact
what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back
teach them young, that history is taught by those who've won
great white father playing favorites with his favorite sons
a people fall, like leaves before the storm
sleep no longer oh you Choctaw and the Iroqouis
poisoned our water with fire, pushing us from our homes
taken every promise, leave them broken, broken like stone
and i leave with so, so many things undone
could you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of
and i never noticed how the wind, will never speak of me again
regret and i, we walk alone again tonight
in the place we made, we made our pact
play it slow
took every promise, leave them broken like stones
and i leave with so, so many things undone
won't you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of
i'd give up so much to begin, to be at home with you again
regret and i, we walk alone again tonight
in the place we made, we made our pact
what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back
what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back
what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back
what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back
what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back
