John Denver - Whalebones And Crosses Lyrics

  • (HenryHoldridge)
  • Whalebones and crosses stand against the Arctic sky.
  • The wind blows through the graveyard where our fallen fathers lie.
  • Eternal snow that covers them, the shadows of the sun.
  • The mighty struggle on the seas, a way of life is run.
  • I'll sing for you my father, for the ancient sacred ways.
  • How the hunter loved the hunted, how the night becomes the day.
  • The circle of the mighty spirit keeps us in its fold.
  • The warmth of understanding like a light shot through the cold.
  • Then bring to me my people, touch them with your loving hands.
  • Lead them from confusion, lead them back unto the land.
  • For sickness seems to block their path, it clouds my people's eyes.
  • The promise that an idle truth will reap a golden lie.
  • Whalebones and crosses stand against the Arctic sky.
  • The wind blows through the graveyard where our fallen fathers lie.
  • The timeless hunt, a journey back to what we once came from.
  • Compassion and nobility beneath the midnight sun.
  • The mighty struggle on the seas, a way of life is run.
