"Ancient Song" lyrics

They crossed that river
When the word had spread
Two young hearts fleeing
And a good man dead
Well, the calvary gathered
They were scared to track
Heed the call
We're gonna hold that devil back

Before a heavy fire
Let the cavern camp
Another dark haired beauty
And a desert tramp
Said he had no future
Baby, stay with me
Said I'm tired
Of your side can't you see

It's a lonely one
In the valley wind
Blowing wild
From Indian
And echoes strange
Mountain long
Make it through
And into this ancient song

Through the deep cold desert
Only miles behind
Every drunk guy searching
Any kind of sign
They were sure they had him
Circled all around
Let it blow
How low to lay her down

It's a lonely one
In the valley wind
Blowing wild
From Indian
And echoes strange
Mountain long
Make it through
And into this ancient song

It's a western legend
All the old men tell
On the Ruby Mountains
Where they say he fell
Brought them back her body
Called the calvary brave
Say his bones
Still alone in some glad cave

And a lonely one
In the valley wind
Blowing wild
From Indian
And echoes strange
Mountain long
Make it through
And into this ancient song

Make it through
And into this ancient song
