My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
*Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee" (*)
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But it can't run away from what I am (*)
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, ooh
Do you believe in love after love ?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in love after love ?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cos I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, ooh
But I know that I'll get through this
'Cos I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore, no I don't need you anymore
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always
Brings me back to you
CHORUS:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all
When love is truly right
This time it's truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh and on the way it grows
But it never disappears
Chorus
Always just beyond my touch
Though I needed you so much
After all what else is living for
Whoa
