|
| [00:33.50] |
Held within a sacred place |
| [00:37.99] |
Antiquity in shades of grace |
| [00:42.40] |
The lines you carve upon the ground |
| [00:46.39] |
Are lines within the Elder's face |
| [00:49.98] |
|
| [00:50.92] |
Something is becoming clear |
| [00:55.17] |
Everything is ancient here |
| [00:59.31] |
The rivers flowing 'cross the plains |
| [01:03.36] |
The hills that over look the same |
| [01:06.89] |
|
| [01:07.00] |
(Chorus) |
| [01:07.33] |
And you are the wind that blows throughout |
| [01:11.76] |
You are so hard to sing about |
| [01:15.90] |
You are the blood within my veins |
| [01:20.19] |
A mirror to the past remains |
| [01:32.17] |
|
| [01:43.92] |
Turning back the page of time |
| [01:47.37] |
The hour-glass of arctic sands |
| [01:51.75] |
Reveals a former common ground |
| [01:55.75] |
The Great Plains of the southern lands |
| [01:59.93] |
|
| [02:00.25] |
Dark upon the golden plain |
| [02:04.39] |
Shadows still recount the view |
| [02:08.59] |
The nation of the buffalo |
| [02:12.61] |
The nation of the caribou |
| [02:16.99] |
|
| [02:17.00] |
(Bridge) |
| [03:10.68] |
|
| [03:12.13] |
The tribes across the southern plains |
| [03:15.78] |
With weathered eyes and standing tall |
| [03:20.28] |
Have heard the cries and felt the pain |
| [03:24.18] |
To see the mighty nations fall |
| [03:27.87] |
|
| [03:28.70] |
Now blowing through the empty hall |
| [03:32.67] |
The leaves of summer turned to fall |
| [03:37.03] |
With Sandhill Cranes a last recall |
| [03:41.03] |
To wild things that shared it all |
| [03:44.92] |
|
| [03:45.00] |
(Chorus) |
| [03:45.53] |
And you are the wind that blows without |
| [03:49.31] |
You are so hard to sing about |
| [03:53.31] |
You are the blood within my veins |
| [03:57.95] |
A mirror to the past remains |
