lyrics

Oh little sister cedar tree
Your skinny limbs are trembling in the breeze
And there are faces in the fire each night
Forget not what you have taken, moon-skin child

You can see them slipping in and out of the fog
The blue sky hiding the darkness in their song
Rolling and-a reachin out to see their God
Oh heaven look and tell me--up here--I’m a little bit closer to you

If we had known each other then
Maybe I could have saved you in the end
And in that other life I prayed for peace
For breathless innocents struggling in the heat

They’re the elders presiding silently
What have you seen? What have you seen?
