Downwind there is a comin', |
|
A rumble in the sand. |
|
Sets our feet to running, |
|
For the fear of the faceless man. |
|
For the fear of the faceless man. |
|
But if I had an arsenal and if it was ten feet tall, |
|
Then I would put an end to it all. |
|
And if I had wheat to burn, |
|
And if I had a lot to learn, |
|
Then it still would not matter what color you were. |
|
And if I had but one wish on which to stand, |
|
I'd wish the weapons all turn to sand. |
|
I'd see the gunners watch their empty hands, |
|
Fall down to their sides. |
|
Downwind they come up lonely, |
|
All hungry for the kill. |
|
The horses do the pounding, |
|
But it's a blood that's going to spill. |
|
It's a dark blood that's going to spill. |
|
But if I had an arsenal and if it was ten feet tall, |
|
Then it wouldn't matter what color you were. |
|
And if I had but one wish on which to stand, |
|
I'd see the weapons all turn to sand. |
|
I'd see the gunners watch their empty hands, |
|
Fall down to their sides. |
|
If I had but one wish on which to stand, |
|
I'd have the weapons all leave |
|
Sudan. I'd see the gunners wash their empty hands, |
|
Down by the riverside. |
|
Ghost town in my homeland, |
|
I will come back again. |
|
And if you make a ghost of me, |
|
I will still be free. |
|
Ghost town in my homeland, |
|
I will come back again. |
|
If you make a ghost out of me, |
|
I will still be free. |
|
If I had but one wish on which to stand, |
|
I'd see the weapons all leave this land. |
|
I'd see the gunners watch their empty hands, |
|
Fall down to their sides. |
|
If I had but one wish on which to stand, |
|
I'd see the weapons all leave |
|
Sudan. I'd see the gunners wash their empty hands, |

Down by the riverside. |

Down by the riverside. |
