lyrics

Two winters with the People
I grew to feel the village was my home
And now my dreams are haunted
By the faces of loved ones, slaughtered in the snow
Now all that's left of that life, I hold in my arms
Oh my darlin' Daniel, I vow to keep you safe from all harm

But oh this cold world
So indifferent to its own
Can I raise this child alone?
I promise I will give you a home
I'll never let you know the fear I've known

We'll go back to West Virginia
Mama on the front porch, she will love you as her own
I'll go back to teachin' school
You'll have lots of friends, and an orchard, with trees through which to run

But the cavalry escorted us back to my old life
The farmer, Heinrich Faber, had no smile when reunited with his wife

And oh their cold eyes
No one will speak to us in town
Heinrich don't want him around
At my baby he curses and frowns
Says that half-breed can't be baptized
Should be drowned
