Matter of fact, I wrote a song back in '94 called "Wendigo." Here are the lyrics:
WENDIGO Key of Em
I'm in a car with some girl I don't know Bob Dylan's on the radio Singing "Absolutely Sweet Marie" It's not the shadowed hollows of her face That keep me hidden here within my space But only that she seems so much like me The highway rolls, the miles fall back behind The empty fields, the fading yellow lines An epitaph for the white man's broken dreams And nothing measures up to what was lost No one alive can grasp or tell the cost And this girl is not the child she seems
I hear her screaming in the wind...aaahhh...Wendigo! I feel the night come closing in...aaahhh...Wendigo!
Girl, I want to fall in love so bad Reclaim the feelings I once had Chase down the phantoms of my youth And if there's anything that we can do I only hope this time it will be true Cos nothing else can stand beside the truth The autumn moon is shining bright and clear Some voice is ringing in my ear Maybe it's an angel, I don't know If I am dreaming let it just go on Like a never-ending siren song Like a wave out of the long ago
I hear her crying in the wind...aaahhh...Wendigo! I feel the night come closing in...aaahhh...Wendigo!
I want to find the love that still is left After all the violence and the theft After all the lies and crazy deeds After the black robes and the shame The sacrifice of honour, pride and name The prison of desires, wants and needs I can drive all night, I'm a patient man I can wait for the dawn, I can sit or stand But I won't lie down until it's done Not until we're living free of sin Innocent as snowflakes in the wind Like two wildflowers in the sun
I hear her crying in the wind...aaahhh...Wendigo! I feel the night come closing in...aaahhh...Wendigo!
I was born upon this land, you see And it will always be a part of me And it will always live there in my blood No government can take this love away No matter what the price or what they say Not by the iron hand or the velvet glove And darling, I have seen your eyes before Like the falling sky on the Arctic shore Rolling like a river, deep and strong And I will drive until it all comes down Till the lightning falls on a broken crown And we finally right this grievous wrong
I hear her screaming in the wind...aaahhh...Wendigo! I feel the night come closing in...aaahhh...Wendigo!
I'm in a car with some girl I don't know Bob Dylan's on the radio Singin' "Absolutely Sweet Marie" It's not the shadowed hollows of her face It's just a vision time cannot erase And this girl is not a child, you see
I hear her crying in the wind...aaahhh...Wendigo! I feel the night come closing in...aaahhh...Wendigo!
