Over the green hills and into the sun
That's where I feel I ought to be goin'
Blue sky above me and green earth below
Don't even matter which way I go Yeah!
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives
But the people try to snatch all there is
They can have all I own. I don't need anything,
I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

. . .


If its the cold black night
That's eating up your heart
The cold damp sweat
Keep you and sleep apart
The ticking clock
Just watching on the table
The wind that howls
As much as it is able

Then worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
In the wind that's meant for you

And the sleeping streets
Have closed their tired eyes
The fear that creeps
Will move & slowly rise
Your beating heart
Will hammer at your breast
Your aching brain
Will cry aloud for rest

Worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
In the wind that's meant for you

Worry baby worry
There's a reason for you to
There's a silent, deadly message
In the wind that's meant for you

. . .


Walk in my shadow
My throat is dry
My knees are weak
It's so damned hot
I can't even speak

Walk in my shadow
I can't take it anymore
When I get you in the shadows
I gonna show you what it's for

Yes I know baby
That's a shady kind of deal
I just want to find out
How you feel

Walk in my shadow
I ain't gonna take it anymore
When I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna give you what's in store

Yes I know you say I'm stupid
It just wouldn't be cool
Well I can tell baby that
I aint no fool

Walk in my shadow
I can't take it anymore
When I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna lay you on the floor

When I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna give you what's in store

She was a wild Indian woman and she drove me wild
She was a wild Indian woman till she had my child

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
She's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
She's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

She used to sleep on the prairie with the stars above
She used to hunt in the woods till I caught her love

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
She's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
She's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

. . .


Yes I've had my fun
If I don't get well no more
Yes I've had my fun, baby
If I don't get well no more
You see I have this pain in me
An I'm goin' down slow

Won't somebody write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother
Tell her to pray for me
Tell her to forgive my sin

Tell her don't send no doctor
Yes a doctor can do me no good
Yes no doctor mama
Doctor can do me no good
But you see through all of my trials
I never did all the things I could

On the next train south
Baby you can look for my...
On the next train south
Mama, you can look for...
Yes now if you see my baby baby
Yes you know I'm dead and gone

. . .


I was born by the river, just like this river,
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got no body to call my own you know
I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun, I don't need no body
No, I don't love no one
Yes, I'm a mover baby
Now get out of my way will ya?
Don't try to stop me now

Following the footpath one fine day,
When I asked a wise man which was the way,
He said "follow you heart and look for yourself,
And come back and tell me what you have learned".
Yes, I'm a mover.

Went back and told him I'd found me a wife,
Eleven children and a real good life,
Told him I'd left this happy home,
'cause I need to return to the long winding road
Yes, I'm a mover

. . .


They call me the hunter
'cause thats my name
Pretty little woman like you
Is my only game

I bought me a love gun
Just the other day
And I aim to aim it your way
Ain't no use to hide
Ain't no used to run
'cause I got you in the sight
Of my girly gun

The first time I saw you
Standing on the street
I said to myself
Oh! ain't she sweet

I got my love gun loaded
With hundreds of kisses
Soon as I pull the trigger baby
There will be no misses

Ain't no use to hide
Ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
Of my girly gun

Ain't no use to hide
Ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
Of my girly gun

The first time I saw you
Standing on the street
I said to myself
Oh! ain't she sweet

I got my love gun loaded
With hundreds of kisses
Soon as I pull the trigger baby
There will be no misses

Ain't no use to hide
Ain't no use to run
'cause I got you in the sight
Of my girly gun

. . .


Sitting in a graveyard
Waiting for the dawn
Leaning on my tombstone
Till the night is gone

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish i could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry

My woman was so lovely
Together we were one
No sunshine in my weary eyes
Now that she has gone

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why
I sit here alone
And cry

Palm trees whisper to me
From your spreading height
Tell me all the loney stories
Of the world at night

Oh how the moon
Hangs in black sky
Wish I could find out
The reason why

I sit here alone
And cry

. . .


It's like a soft caressing sea
Or making love in harmony
Or the centre of a starry galaxy
It's like the richness that's inside
The one I'm trying to describe
Or the living water stretching far and wide

Searching for a shadow in the morning sun
Playing with your woman when there's work to be done
People, won't you listen when I tell the truth
I give her all my sugar, she's got such a sweet tooth yeah yeah

It's like a sound that rests my soul
Or like a part that's now a whole
Or as something that is burning bright as gold
I want her near me everyday
Then I want to hear her say
There is somthing here between us as we lay

Searching for a shadow in the morning sun
Playing with your woman when there's work to be done
People, won't you listen when I tell the truth
I give her all my sugar, she's got such a sweet tooth yeah yeah

. . .


Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I need to be free where the air is clean
And the sparking river is cool on my skin

When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow
And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low
Ah ah ah ah ah
