Midnight Ladies

Been there where blue birds sang to the sea Been far away where you can hear Indians' plea Where the children cried and the poets dreamed Through green lands where you once roamed free And now those legends are buried deep So I'll come back to the place Where the midnight ladies swing I'll be on my life-long race And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me Across the rocky paths to empty war fields Along wide red canyons stained with sins Within Indian homelands, a mist so surreal Old men dying beside their hearts of steel Birds of Thunder to the White they kneel So I'll come back to the place Where the midnight ladies swing I'll be on my life-long race And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me I see herdsmen headin' home Blood feathers they've sown Indians souls been blown Names fading through the storm So I'll run where the forgotten lay To the Midnight Ladies in the sky So I'll come back to the place Where the midnight ladies swing I'll be on my life-long race And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me
