Campfires In the Sky

A dark shadow passes over the land 
I wonder if I'll ever see the sun shine agian 
A haunting wind moves through the trees 
With a cry for a fallen Cherokee 
From the heaven's angels weep and their tears fall upon this land 
Others call it rain but I know different and understand 
A brave warroir has walked the hanging road 
He has reached the campfires in the sky, he has gone home 
For those of us who miss him here 
Our loss is great for he was so dear 
Rest peacefully my friend now that we're apart 
Fond memories we carry always in our hearts
