Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
The winter battle was won
The summer children were born
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come woman on your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rising out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, sing your favorite song
Left to tears
Dreams it goes
and then on
A vessel in the bloodline
The 13th zodiac sign
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
Someday the grapes will be wine
And someday you will be mine
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come woman on your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rising out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, sing your favorite song
Left to tears
Dreams it goes
and then on
Oh, sing your favorite song
Left to tears
Dreams it goes
and then on
That witch was burned in the ground
Will someday come back around
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
And still the story goes on 'n' on
This is a song that fits on the civilization album, after all it's about just that. The rolling cycle of birth, life, death the story of our civilization is a collection of short stories for each generation. A lyric mis-print of 'witch' should be 'which' - from the earth each generation rises.
