DARLING DON'T CRY

I'd love the world to know about grassroots powwow music, and the first time I heard "Darling Don't Cry" I thought it would make a great cross-the-borders pop song. Working with Edmund Bull in rewriting "Darling Don't Cry" gave me the chance to come to Saskatoon (Saskatchewan, Canada) and record with the Red Bull Singers, and they've been great, right from the start.

I met him on the powwow trail
He was singing and I was a dancer
To the Heartbeat Drum
Heartbeat Drum - heyo heya

Long summer nights
Falling in love
Don't ever want to part,
don't ever wanna say goodbye

Darling don't cry
When I leave the USA
If you like I'll take you home
When I go back to Canada
hey ya, hey ya...
