Spoken For Lyrics
Spoken for, since the first new morning of the world
Began
Spoken for, slope of the mountain and the lay of the land
Spoken for, roar of the water on the white sea sand
Spoken for, the fruit of the valley where I make my stand
I thought I heard a voice whisper in my ear
A voice in the distance, but drawing near
Spoken to, but they only hear what they want to hear
Only when fighting for their lives does the truth ring clear
Spoken by the face of a cliff scraping on the sky
Spoken by the wind on the water as the waves roll high
The winging of an eagle when it's on the fly
The girl in the window with the laughing eye
Bridge
Spoken in the heat of the moment when the lamps are
Low
Spoken in dead earnest or in jest, or just for show
Spoken in a lingo of the heart only lovers know
Spoken in drops of blood that trickle on the virgin snow
Spoken to, by the white winged crow in my sleeping ear
Spoken to, the promise of a reckoning day draws near
Spoken for, defended to the death at Wounded Knee
Spoken for, every acre by acre from sea to sea
With lines in the sand no one else could see
Awakened, by flame in the night, to reality
