Indian Sunset

[00:00.17] ...

[00:11.42] As I awoke this evening

[00:13.66] With the smell of woodsmoke clinging

[00:17.41] Like a gentle cobweb hanging

[00:21.15] Upon a painted tepee

[00:25.16] Oh, I went to see my chieftain

[00:28.90] With my warlance and my woman

[00:32.91] For he told us that the yellow moon

[00:36.65] Would very soon be leaving

[00:41.66] This I can't believe I said

[00:45.17] I can't believe our Warlord's dead

[00:50.66] Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones

[00:54.40] To the buzzards and the soldiers' guns

[00:59.40] Oh, great father of the Iroquois

[01:03.65] Ever since I was young

[01:08.90] I've read the writing of the smoke

[01:12.41] And breast-fed on the sound of drums

[01:18.16] I've learned to hurl the tomahawk

[01:21.41] And ride a painted pony wild

[01:26.41] To run the gauntlet of the Sioux

[01:30.16] To make a chieftain's daughter mine

[01:35.41] And now you ask that I should watch

[01:38.90] The red man's race be slowly crushed?

[01:43.91] What kind of words are these to hear

[01:47.40] From Yellow Dog, whom white man fears?

[02:38.16] I take only what is mine, Lord

[02:44.07] My pony, my squaw, and my child

[02:52.07] I can't stay to see you die

[03:00.07] Along with my tribe's pride

[03:06.82] I go to search for the yellow moon

[03:12.07] And the fathers of our sons

[03:18.82] Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold

[03:26.07] And the healing waters run

[03:37.32] Trampling down the prairie rose

[03:44.57] Leaving hoof tracks in the sand

[03:51.32] Those who wish to follow me

[03:58.82] I welcome with my hands

[04:05.82] I heard from passing renegades

[04:12.58] Geronimo was dead

[04:17.82] He'd been laying down his weapons

[04:24.22] When they filled him full of lead

[05:18.22] Now there seems no reason why

[05:21.97] I should carry on

[05:25.47] In this land that once was my land

[05:29.88] I can't find a home

[05:33.13] It's lonely and it's quiet

[05:36.37] And the horse soldiers are coming

[05:40.12] And I think it's time I strung my bow

[05:44.13] And ceased my senseless running

[05:49.38] For soon I'll find the yellow moon

[05:52.87] Along with my loved ones

[05:56.38] Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields

[06:00.37] Without the sound of guns

[06:03.39] And the red sun sinks at last

[06:07.14] Into the hills of gold

[06:10.62] And peace to this young warrior

[06:14.87] Comes with a bullet hole
