*** Song inspired by the movie Dances with Wolves from 1990. My father took me to see this movie when I was just a boy and since then it has been one of my all time favorites. *** [Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Where the horizon folds, I fold with it, where the river sways, I sway unseen. Where the rifle sleeps, the silence lingers, where the fire hums, I hum between. Where the prairie sings, I leave no echo, where the hoofbeats melt, I melt to dust. Where the sky is bruised, I bruise in waiting, where the wind is lost, I lose my trust. [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] You call it endless, I call it empty, you call it conquest, I call it theft. You call it nothing, I call it breathing, you call it yours, I call what’s left. [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] When the wolf still danced, I danced beside him, when the stars still burned, I burned in kind. When the hands held fast, I held the silence, when the doors swung wide, I stayed behind. When the sky was wide, I called it heaven, when the ground was warm, I called it home. When the dawn was soft, I swore it waited, when the dusk was torn, I walked alone. [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge] But love was tangled in the willow, but love was carved into the bone, but love was buried in the footstep, but love was left where no one goes. [Instrumental solo] [Chorus] You call it endless, I call it empty, you call it conquest, I call it theft. You call it nothing, I call it breathing, you call it yours, I call what’s left. [Instrumental fade out] [Instrumental outro: Solemn Harmonica]
