Lyrics
When said the moon to the stars in the sky
Soon said the wind that followed him home
Who said the cloud that started to cry
Me said the rider as dry as a bone
Who said the sun that melted the ground
Why said the river that refused to run
Where said the thunder without a sound
Here said the rider and took up his gun
No said the stars to the moon in the sky
No said the trees that started to moan
No said the dust that blinded his eyes
Yes said the rider as white as a bone
No said the moon that rose from his sleep
No said the cry of the dying sun
No said the planets that started to weep
Yes said the rider and laid down his gun
