Floyd Red Crow Westerman
My soul is in the mountain
My heart is in the land
I’m lost here in the city
There’s so much I don’t understand.
There’s quiet desperation coming over me,
Coming over me.
I’ve got to leave I can’t stay another day
There’s an emptiness inside of me,
I can’t bear the loneliness out here
There’s another place I’ve got to be.
I long for you, Dakota
The smell of sweet grass on the plain
I see too much meanness
And I feel too much pain.
And there’s quiet desperation coming over me,
Coming over me.
I’ve got to leave I can’t stay another day
There’s an emptiness inside of me
I can’t bear the loneliness out here
There’s another place I’ve got to be.
