Cries of Life
Warm sun over head, as rays beaming down,
She stood in the shadow of the big oak tree,
She crying fell to one knee, alone now free,
Her gallant indian brave lover was gone.
Watch the sad oaks bend
Of the visions of in the winds Chorus
Eyes of tears, heart of clay, she was in such dismay,
His spirit grabbed her by her right arm,
Winds singing his lonesome song, she listens,
My dear they are gone, you are in no harm.
Aloud and alone she cries
Sad and miserable inward she dies Chorus
The breezes blew, loud her cries in the winds,
Then a baby's cry, a sad love desperately sends,
The cries of her child, her new born vision,
What shall she now do, oh...a decision.
The winds of life sing
She alone to her baby sings Chorus
She swaddles him close, new baby boy,
In its blanket, she with a sad heart, yet joy,
She rests now beneath that old oak tree,
For now the two were alone but free.
They ride on the wind
Far away around the rivers bend Chorus
