Neil Young
Pocahontas (Live)
[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 teepee
And they tore our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the fire sticks and the wagon come
And the night falls on the setting 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

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the morning on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen

[Verse 4]
And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome and the first teepee
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Pocahontas
