Mooshum

Intro Harp

Last night I dreamed of you
You were talking crazy out of your mind
And that’s when I knew
You were gone now the last of your kind
And I’ve seen the prairie provinces
And the moonlight shining on the Rocky Mountains
Yes it’s beautiful…

Chorus
And I thought of you then
And all the things you said to me that day
How was I suppose to know
That you’d be leaving?

Harp

You killed so skillfully
But you did so that you could survive
You live so gracefully
In a time and place that we called our own
And I’ve seen the Northern Lights
And the moonlight shine across the frozen Tundra

Chorus

Bridge
And I see you in the stars when I look into the night sky…Mooshum
And I know I’ll be al right cause I feel you all around me…Mooshum
Mooshum kititan…(I call you grandfather)
