[Verse 1]
Come quick, darlin'
Come hear what I dreamed
Hold me while I
Tell you all I’ve seen

[Chorus]
There was a voice inside the fire
And the words were lined with stars
Said the fuel will soon depart
For the ghost dance

[Verse 2]
I looked up on Mother Life
She rode the comet's tail
Bluest sorrows filled her eyes
Somehow, she felt she failed

[Chorus]
She said love to you who've tried
But the green has left the vine
And I do believe it’s time
For the ghost dance

[Chorus]
And her words fell pure as snow
On the empty hearts below
And I mourned for when they broke
At the ghost dance
And the drum beats sure and slow
And the embers left to glow
Draws all the weary souls
To the ghost dance
