Chief Sitting Bull meets Sheikh Apocalyptic Horseman (Edit)

[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, hand percussion, shaker] [snare hit] [electric guitar melody enters] [Verse 1] [male lead vocals] I walk the red earth slow Seed of smoke in my coat River light on my hands Grandmother taught me hope I hear the skin drum talk I see the moon stay high Your eyes like a broken dawn Come meet me by and by [Chorus] [full band enters, driving drums, group backing vocals] Oh, the road bends right Like a serpent in the sand Oh, my heart leans out When you take me by the hand Aya-aya, come near me Aya-aya, stay with me Rock me soft, rock me easy Aya-aya, set me free Aya, I'll be Aya-aya, hear me Spin me 'round, let it carry Aya-aya, stay with me [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar solo, hand percussion] [Verse 2] [male lead vocals] Catch a long fire dance On a weathered plate I bring the blue cornbread You bring the spice of fate You laugh in the doorway Morning in the canyon air We trade our stories slow And leave our burdens there [Chorus] [full band, group backing vocals] Oh, the road bends right Like a serpent in the sand Oh, my heart leans out When you take me by the hand Aya-aya, come near me Aya-aya, stay with me Rock me soft, rock me easy Aya-aya, set me free Aya, I'll be Aya-aya, hear me Spin me 'round, let it carry Aya-aya, stay with me [Bridge] [drums drop out, acoustic guitar and bass only] Let the old grief go To the water and the stone We were born to rise We were never made of bone [Chorus] [full band, high energy] Aya-aya, come near me Aya-aya, stay with me Rock me soft, rock me easy Aya-aya, set me free Aya, I'll be Aya-aya, hear me Spin me 'round, let it carry Aya-aya, stay with me
