| Lee Rick Miscellaneous Natick NATICK Words and Music, Rick Lee (c) 1984, Snowy Egret Music, BMI recorded on THE OLD ROAD, Solomon's Seal, Front Hall Records, 1984 and NATICK, Rick Lee, Waterbug Records, WBG 0016, (CD and Cassette) 7/18/95 Natick was a language Natick is a town No one speaks the language All of them are gone They lived here by the hundreds And grew upon the land And welcomed some white strangers And offerred us a hand But only their shadows remain. John Eliot, a preacher Came to see the ones Who sang and danced in worship Of the the morning sun He taught them trust and English They taught him of the times When only air and spirit Abounded in these climes But only their shadows remain. A language was invented To suit both families' needs To preach a Christian gospel And speak to whispering reeds A language known as Natick Was spoken here by tongues Of natives and of settlers A new world had begun But only their shadows remain A generation later or two There came a war Of englishmen and indians And racism and more Then spilled upon the people Who had welcomed us before And had trusted reverend Eliot But now they are no more Only their shadows remain (repeat first verse) |
