climbing up, on a hill that they knew well

and on that hillside, like shadows they fell

long before, the need for bow and shield

when hope spread out like a Tennessee field



don't wait for me, in our spot by the giving tree

you won't find my spirit here, oh my heart, find it hard



and i leave with so, so many things undone

would you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of

and i never noticed how the wind, will never speak of me again

regret and i, we walk alone again tonight

in the place we made, we made our pact

what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back



teach them young, that history is taught by those who've won

great white father playing favorites with his favorite sons

a people fall, like leaves before the storm

sleep no longer oh you Choctaw and the Iroqouis



poisoned our water with fire, pushing us from our homes

taken every promise, leave them broken, broken like stone



and i leave with so, so many things undone

could you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of

and i never noticed how the wind, will never speak of me again

regret and i, we walk alone again tonight

in the place we made, we made our pact

play it slow

took every promise, leave them broken like stones



and i leave with so, so many things undone

won't you give my love, to the, to the one i'm thinking of

i'd give up so much to begin, to be at home with you again

regret and i, we walk alone again tonight

in the place we made, we made our pact

what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back

what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back

what Red Cloud wants, they can't give back

what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back

what Red Cloud wants, they can never give back
