lyrics

Rest your head my child it's twilight on the plain
we're safe inside this circle of stones
I look into your eyes I think of a distant flame
and pray that you will rise up and be strong
The ghosts of all this nation still whisper in the wind

Bliss Sando with
The Ringwood Rockers
they haunt me as I mingle with their sighs
as all the broken promises lie scattered in the sand
we dream of sacred hills we left behind

Sleep now Desert Flower
let the night wind speak your name
and await your waking hour in the morning rain

I can see the future and the medicine it brings
to the day this trail of tears will finally bloom
the old ways forgotten like the song the eagle sings
but the truth will be revealed like painted moon

So sleep now Desert Flower
let the night wind speak your name
and await your waking hour in the morning rain
