Indian Sunset - Elton John |
[00:11.40] |
As I awoke this evening with |
[00:14.21] |
the smell of wood smoke clinging |
[00:16.71] |
|
[00:17.88] |
Like a gentle cobweb hanging |
[00:19.83] |
|
[00:21.45] |
upon a painted tepee |
[00:23.30] |
|
[00:25.98] |
Oh I went to see my chieftain |
[00:29.02] |
with my warlance and my woman |
[00:32.03] |
|
[00:33.20] |
For he told us that the yellow moon would |
[00:37.05] |
very soon be leaving |
[00:38.52] |
|
[00:42.15] |
This I can't believe I said |
[00:44.70] |
|
[00:45.63] |
I can't believe our warlords dead |
[00:49.00] |
|
[00:50.83] |
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones |
[00:53.74] |
|
[00:54.54] |
to the buzzards and the soldiers guns |
[00:57.72] |
|
[00:59.54] |
Oh great father of the iroquois |
[01:02.74] |
|
[01:04.13] |
ever since I was young |
[01:06.49] |
|
[01:09.39] |
I've read the writing of the smoke |
[01:11.92] |
|
[01:12.89] |
and breast fed on the sound of drums |
[01:16.00] |
|
[01:18.29] |
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk |
[01:20.32] |
|
[01:21.84] |
and ride a painted pony wild |
[01:24.05] |
|
[01:26.83] |
To run the gauntlet of the sioux |
[01:29.45] |
|
[01:30.44] |
to make a chieftains daughter mine |
[01:33.11] |
|
[01:35.56] |
And now you ask that I should watch |
[01:38.15] |
|
[01:38.93] |
The red mans race be slowly crushed |
[01:41.82] |
|
[01:44.06] |
What kind of words are these to hear |
[01:46.59] |
|
[01:47.45] |
From yellow dog whom white man fears |
[01:50.74] |
|
[02:38.42] |
I take only what is mine lord |
[02:41.51] |
|
[02:44.54] |
my pony, my squaw, and my child |
[02:47.98] |
|
[02:52.47] |
I can't stay to see you die along |
[03:00.59] |
with my tribes pride |
[03:02.34] |
|
[03:07.00] |
I go to search for the yellow moon |
[03:09.60] |
|
[03:11.99] |
and the fathers of our sons |
[03:15.48] |
|
[03:18.84] |
Where the red sun sinks in the hills |
[03:23.20] |
of gold and the healing waters run |
[03:29.87] |
|
[03:37.37] |
Trampling down the prairie rose |
[03:40.54] |
|
[03:44.33] |
leaving hoof tracks in the sand |
[03:46.56] |
|
[03:51.30] |
Those who wish to follow me |
[03:54.32] |
|
[03:58.75] |
I welcome with my hands |
[04:00.30] |
|
[04:05.71] |
I heard from passing renegades geronimo was dead |
[04:14.27] |
|
[04:17.38] |
Hed been laying down his weapons |
[04:21.38] |
|
[04:24.28] |
when they filled him full of lead |
[04:27.97] |
|
[05:18.30] |
Now there seems no reason |
[05:20.57] |
why I should carry on |
[05:23.48] |
|
[05:25.65] |
In this land that once was my land |
[05:28.39] |
|
[05:29.46] |
I can't find a home |
[05:31.17] |
|
[05:32.66] |
It's lonely and it's quiet |
[05:34.96] |
|
[05:36.20] |
and the horse soldiers are coming |
[05:38.45] |
|
[05:39.66] |
And I think it's time |
[05:40.99] |
|
[05:41.73] |
I strung my bow |
[05:42.78] |
|
[05:43.58] |
and ceased my senseless running |
[05:45.66] |
|
[05:49.02] |
For soon I'll find the yellow moon |
[05:51.51] |
|
[05:52.57] |
along with my loved ones |
[05:54.54] |
|
[05:55.83] |
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields |
[05:59.09] |
|
[05:59.86] |
without the sound of guns |
[06:01.45] |
|
[06:03.01] |
And the red sun sinks at last |
[06:06.12] |
|
[06:06.82] |
into the hills of gold |
[06:08.38] |
|
[06:10.22] |
And peace to this young warrior |
[06:12.51] |
|
[06:14.28] |
comes with a bullet hole |
