Pocahontas lyrics
by Neil Young
[Verse 1]
Aurora borealis, the icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water in a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen
[Verse 2]
They killed us in our tepees and they cut our women down
They might have left some babies cryin' on the ground
But the fire sticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the settin' sun
[Verse 3]
They massacred the buffalo kitty corner from the bank
Taxis run across my feet and my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug and a pipe to share
[Verse 4]
I wish I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen
Pocahontas
