| Ponderosa pine
|
| Makes me pine and ponder, wonder and opine
|
| About the time
|
| About the purple Black Hills
|
| South Dakota thunder blues
|
| While I’m heavily grounded in my Fluevog shoes
|
| So I sing these blues
|
| Thoroughly soaked with some reddish hues
|
| It’s music for the living
|
| Words for the dead
|
| and it’s quarter note triplets for the tears that our parents bled
|
| I discovered art, when I saw your face
|
| An abundance of lovingly crafted words
|
| From your heart with wings
|
| And your mouth that sings
|
| And the fear that you hide and what that fear brings
|
| From California, to istanbul
|
| And those silver little thoughts, that sound so cool
|
| Near your ear can your hear
|
| This long transmission from my busted short wave radio gear
|
| You have got a heart with wings
|
| You have got a soul that sings
|
| Ancient battles, killed the land
|
| They made Sitting Bull sit, but he stood like a man
|
| And his blood flows in the smoke that I smoke
|
| When Black Elk speaks, they were words I spoke
|
| You have got, a heart with wings
|
| You have got, a soul that sings
|
| That thursday, I clipped my hunter’s gun,
|
| And I watched its silver bullets melt in the sun
|
| Like the wax from the fake angel’s wings
|
| You’re the one yeah you’re the real thing
|
| You have got, a heart with wings You have got, a soul that sings You have got,
|
| a heart with wings You have got, a soul that sings |
