about

A track from The Parwills 1996 release "Bootheels of Desire", written following a road trip across the northern plains of the US, encountering many Native peoples, & enjoying the bounteous scenery & wildlife particularly in the Wind Cave National Park. My life has never been the same.

lyrics

RUN RUN WIND RIVER RUN
THE GHOSTS OF CROWHEART BUTTE LIVE ON
IN THE DUST OF THE BUFFALO DANCE OF THE SUN
WHERE MAN AND MOTHER EARTH ARE ONE

SACAJAWEA AS THE LEGEND GOES
WAS LEWIS AND CLARK’S SHOSHONE ROSE
LED THE WAY WEST INTO HISTORY
WHERE MOUNTAINS RISE AND RIVERS RUN FREE

RUN RUN WIND RIVER RUN…


FROM THE BADLANDS TO THE PINE COVERED HILLS
ON THE WARM VALLEY TRAILS IT’S LIKE TIME STOOD STILL
NO WINDS OF CHANGE COULD TOUCH THE SOUL
OF THE LAND WHERE THE HEARTBEAT DRUMS STILL ROLL

RUN RUN WIND RIVER RUN


NOW THE WHEEL IS TURNED OUR TIME IS COME
AS WAX WINGS MELT BEFORE THE SUN
VOICES OF THE PAST RECALLED
WORLD IN THE BALANCE WOLVES AT THE DOOR

RUN RUN WIND RIVER RUN
