[00:01.15] 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
