Faithfull, Marianne - Ghost Dance Lyrics
What is it children that falls from the sky?
Tayi, taya, tayi, aye ya
Mannah from Heaven from most high
Food from the Father, tayi, taye ya
We shall live again, shake out the grief
Peace to your brother, give and take heed
Tayi, taya, it left two feet
One foot extended, snake to the ground
Wave of the Earth, one turn around
We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, shake out the grief, babe
Fruit of thy bird, tayi, taya
Threw off your shoe, haul off the sow
Dust off the words that shape from the tale
We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, shake out the ghost dance
Here we are, Father, here, Holy Ghost
Bread of your bread, host of your host
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of your word, cry of your cry
We shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again, we shall live
What is it, Father, in your eye
What is this grave sign, eyes to cry
Blood of my baby, well, just what I need
What is it, hide me, way off to speed
Who is it, Father, holy that night?
What is it, Father, that moves to the right?
What is it, Father, isn't it pain?
What is it, Father, that shapes from your main?
What is it, Father, supposed to be brave?
A lot of questions, the right to live
What is it, baby, I can't do
Your mama loves you, I'm dying, too
I won't forget you, never lie
I'll always love you till I die...

Faithfull, Marianne Ghost Dance Comments
This recording by Marianne Faithfull of "Ghost Dance" (by Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye) features Ron Wood (guitar) and Charlie Watts (drums) of The Rolling Stones, and was produced by Keith Richards; was originally intended for an Irish AIDS benefit album. I am unsure of the album;s title, and whether the track was eventually included or not.
this is my favorite version of the song, even though I love both Marianne and Patti
It is indeed. GREAT cover!
exactly cat,
Specially With the guitar from keith love it perfect
Quite dig this. Isn't this a Patti Smith song ?
