Attakapa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wagon wheel keeps on rolling
Out of control and out of time
Try to stop the rain with a fire dance
Took my chances, but I'm still in a trance
Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away
Passing through to get across to see what I might find
The games that I once taught using a four inch line
Caught a snake and raven, tails of rats and eagle eye
All that's been denied revealed
Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away
Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own
Hear them crying in the morning wind
Off in the distance a young boy dies
Hear his mother weeping I say to you
You lost your land but they can't steal your soul
Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away
Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own
Let us lay down the land we founded
Rest in our homes, call our own
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone
Take me to the ocean the spirits keep at bay
Down by the ocean, wash away
Pray to our gods we've contacted lately
To make peace with our pipes
Carved out of stone, rest in our homes, call our own
