Been there where blue birds sang to the sea
Been far away where you can hear Indians' plea
Where the children cried and the poets dreamed
Through green lands where you once roamed free
And now those legends are buried deep
So I'll come back to the place
Where the midnight ladies swing
I'll be on my life-long race
And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me
Across the rocky paths to empty war fields
Along wide red canyons stained with sins
Within Indian homelands, a mist so surreal
Old men dying beside their hearts of steel
Birds of Thunder to the White they kneel
So I'll come back to the place
Where the midnight ladies swing
I'll be on my life-long race
And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me
I see herdsmen headin' home
Blood feathers they've sown
Indians souls been blown
Names fading through the storm
So I'll run where the forgotten lay
To the Midnight Ladies in the sky
So I'll come back to the place
Where the midnight ladies swing
I'll be on my life-long race
And the midnight ladies shall sing, sing sing, to me
