Indian Sunset Lyrics » Elton John
As I awoke this evening
With the smell of woodsmoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging
Upon a painted tepee
Oh, I went to see my chieftain
With my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon
Would very soon be leaving
This I can’t believe I said
I can’t believe our Warlord’s dead
Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones
To the buzzards and the soldiers’ guns
Oh, great father of the
Iroquois
Ever since I was young
I’ve read the writing of the smoke
And breast-fed on the sound of drums
I’ve learned to hurl the tomahawk
And ride a painted pony wild
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux
To make a chieftain’s daughter mine
And now you ask that I should watch
The red man’s race be slowly crushed?
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog, whom white man fears?
