ian hunter – river of tears lyrics
waiting on an elevator – in a hotel out in california
smog clouds up in the windows – but there is a plaque up on the wall
that tells of the agoras – people who were here long before us
before the covered wagons – before they lost it all
they were hunters – they were fishermen und they often fought each other
but one small tribe was different – their leader was a peaceful man
they were weavers – they were painters – trading pelts for pretty colours
protected by the warriors for the beauty in their hands
roll back the years – roll back the years – to the river of tears
the chief he had a daughter – she was young and she was beautiful
he said, “go into the forest – get some berries for the dye
but make your way back quickly – for the old bear’s getting hungry
i don’t want you out there – when the sun falls from the sky”
her basket filled with berries – she headed back toward the village
when a mighty roar erupted – she ran und hid inside a hollow tree
shadows were getting longer – the forest was getting colder
and the chief began to panic – where could his daughter be?
lost in the years – lost in the years – on the river of tears
in the camp the fires were dying when the old chief started crying
soon all the tribe were crying – the ground grew wet beneath their feet
and the tears they turned to water and the water became a river
and the river flowed like an arrow – to the foot of a hollow tree
and the girl looked out in wonder – as she saw the water falling
she knew it was her father and she swam to his canoe
and all the tribe stopped crying – and the river started subsiding
into the hill of the agoras – and so the legend grew
roll back the years – roll back the years
roll back the years – to the river of tears
i wish all the world was healing
