Lyrics - Running Bear by Preston Johnny

On the banks of the river stood
Running
Bear and
Indian braves.
On the other side of the river stood his lovely
Indian maid.
Little
White dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see.
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be.
Running bear loved
Little
White
Dove with a love big as the sky.
Running bear loved
Little
White
Dove with a love that couldn't die.
He couldn't swim the raging river, 'cause the river was too wide.
He couldn't reach little
White dove waitin' on the other side.
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses across the waves.
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave.
Running
Bear loved
Little
White
Dove...
Running
Bear went in the water,
Little
White
Dove did the same.
And they swam up to each other, through the swirling stream they came.
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled themdown.
Now they'll always be together, in that happy hunting ground.
Running
Bear loved
Little
White
Dove...
