about

all proceeds from sales of this song will go to the duwamish tribe's "real rent" program, which is an effort to repay this group of people for the land (the general area of seattle, WA) that was taken from them through the process of colonization

------------------------------
when they poured across the border
i was cautioned to surrender
this i could not do
i took my gun and vanished.

i have changed my name so often
i've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends
and some of them are with me

there were three of us this morning
i'm the only one this evening
but i must go on
the frontiers are my prison

an old woman gave us shelter
kept us hidden in the garret
then the soldiers came
she died without a whisper

oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
through the graves the wind is blowing
freedom soon will come
then we'll come from the shadows
