Running Bear
Epic Love Across Divides: Running Bear's Tale
Lyrics
On the banks of the river stood runnin' bear, young Indian brave
On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear, a young Indian brave.
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid.
Little white dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
Little White Dove was her name, a lovely sight to see.
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
But their tribes fought with each other, preventing their love.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love as vast as the sky.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with an enduring, unbreakable love.
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't swim the raging river because it was too wide.
He couldn't reach little white dove, waiting on the other side
He couldn't reach Little White Dove, waiting on the other side.
In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
In the moonlight, he could see her blowing kisses across the waves.
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting for her brave.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love as vast as the sky.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with an enduring, unbreakable love.
Runnin' bear dove in the water, little white dove did the same
Runnin' Bear dove in the water, and Little White Dove did the same.
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
They swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came.
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled them down.
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love as vast as the sky.
Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't die
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with an enduring, unbreakable love.
