Lyrics

[00:18.55] Aurora borealis
[00:23.08] The icy sky at night
[00:26.02]
[00:27.33] Paddles cut the water
[00:29.95]
[00:31.20] In a long and hurried flight
[00:34.45]
[00:35.70] From the white man
[00:37.77]
[00:38.71] to the fields of green
[00:41.20]
[00:44.33] And the homeland
[00:46.02]
[00:47.58] we've never seen.
[00:49.89]
[01:10.58] They killed us in our tepee
[01:14.40] And they cut our women down
[01:18.76] They might have left some babies
[01:23.39] Cryin' on the ground
[01:27.33] But the firesticks
[01:30.52] and the wagons come
[01:33.77]
[01:35.90] And the night falls
[01:39.09] on the setting sun.
[01:41.58]
[02:10.07] They massacred the buffalo
[02:13.95] Kitty corner from the bank
[02:17.07]
[02:18.39] The taxis run across my feet
[02:22.45] And my eyes have turned to blanks
[02:26.58] In my little box
[02:29.51] at the top of the stairs
[02:32.08]
[02:34.76] With my Indian rug
[02:37.95] and a pipe to share.
[02:41.14]
[03:16.89] I wish a was a trapper
[03:20.52] I would give thousand pelts
[03:24.76] To sleep with Pocahontas
[03:28.96] And find out how she felt
[03:31.58]
[03:32.70] In the mornin'
[03:34.39]
[03:35.51] on the fields of green
[03:38.77]
[03:41.21] In the homeland
[03:42.95]
[03:44.14] we've never seen.
[03:46.45]
[04:05.51] And maybe Marlon Brando
[04:09.39] Will be there by the fire
[04:13.33] We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
[04:17.14] And the good things there for hire
[04:21.02] And the Astrodome
[04:24.27] and the first tepee
[04:27.45]
[04:29.33] Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
[04:36.52]
[04:37.39] Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
[04:45.58] Pocahontas.
