about

"Mountain Windsong" is also the title of a novel written by award-winning Cherokee author and historian Robert J. Conley. The story follows the lives of two Cherokee lovers separated by the Trail of Tears. Adding musical magic to the track are members of Grammy-winning country group BR5-49.

lyrics

Wind blows from down the hills
Carrying her song
She loves a man from there
Even though he's gone
She never walked on the Trail of Tears
Her heart knows where you are
Her love for him will last
Longer than the stars

He vowed he would return
No matter what the cost
Fighting through every fear
He'd get back what he lost
Though he walked through the Trail of Tears
His heart knows where you are
His love for her will last
Longer than the stars

Riding back through their old woods
Familiar though it seems
He looked up to see her there
The woman of his dreams

Wind blows from down the hills
Carrying their song
Cherokee woman and man
Home where they belong
They won't forget their Trail of Tears
They're happy as they are
Their love for life will last
Longer than the stars
Longer than the stars
Longer than the stars
