Tom Jones - Running Bear

On the banks of the river stood
Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little
White Dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
CHORUS
Runnin' Bear loved
Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved
Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove, waiting on the other side In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave
CHORUS
Runnin' Bear dove in the water,
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground
CHORUS
(With a love that couldn't die)
