Winona
No Heroes

Winona (or Wenona) means "first born".

Winona

[chorus]
Winona, Winona, Winona, Winona
Winona, Winona
The only indian girl I knew
Winona, Winona, Winona, Winona
Winona, Winona
The only indian girl I knew

I only met you briefly in a bar
but your love came shining through me, oh indian star
and when you talked about your people long ago
you painted me a picture, oh buffalo

In the Blackfoot Hills their motorways
are tearing up your life
Progress at its best,
progress bringing death

[chorus]

The mirror of your heart rings through my mind
just what I need to feel, need to find
The earth is everyones' your people said
and he who by the earth soul is dead

Custer leading brave young men
you educate the loss
Christians got it wrong
they never listened to your song.

[chorus]
