Running Bear Lyrics - Tom Jones

On the banks of the river 

Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave 

On the other side of the river 

Stood his lovely Indian maid 

Little White Dove was her name 

Such a lovely sight to see 

But their tribes fought with each other 

So their love could never be 

Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love as big as the sky 

Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love that couldn't die 

He couldn't swim the raging river 

'Cause the river, it was too wide 

He couldn't reach little White Dove 

Waiting there on the other side

In the moonlight, he could see her 

Throwing kisses 'cross the wave 

Her little heart was beating faster 

Waiting there for her brave 

Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love as big as the sky 

Yes, Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love that couldn't die 

Running Bear dove in the water 

Little White Dove, she did the same 

As they swam out to each other 

Through the swirling stream they came 

Now their hands touched and their lips met 

The swirling river, it pulled them down 

Now they'll always be together 

In their happy hunting ground 

Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love as big as the sky 

Yes, Running Bear loved little White Dove 

With a love that couldn't die
