lyrics

Head out west, across the plains God gave us. I had a sis, a girl with red-gold hair. Painted men, rusty guns, came down mid yellow leaves. We all hid, hid in the river bed. But she run away… she run away into that brink of the sky. We searched all night, but she was gone into the day and the dawn, like the morning star. She and me, we used to watch the wild geese fly. Which way home, they cry, “Good bye big land, big sky!”

Years passed by— the army showed off prisoners. Among them, a girl with red-gold hair. My pa said, “You'll not treat her like them.” She came home, there were tears in all the eyes, except for hers, she never said a word, but I knew her, the one that run away, she run away, she run away, into that brink of sky. And in the end, we came to fill our pockets full of dirt, like you could own the earth. Funny dream I dreamt that we were kids again. I said, “I’ll be the horse.” She said, “I am the wind.”

Spring came on— a boy asked Pa for her hand. That silent girl— the girl with red-gold hair. That cold night, she slept by my side, like old times. My pa said he'd give his finest horse, if she would speak. But in the moonlight, she run away, that very same night, she run away, she run away, into the brink of sky. I never woke— Her dress was there her doeskins gone, but I swear, in my sleep she said: “Send my love I have to go back home now sis.” Don't you know she rode off on Pa's best pint.
