NATICK Words and Music, Rick Lee (c) 1984, Snowy Egret Music, BMIrecorded on THE OLD ROAD, Solomon`s Seal, Front Hall Records, 1984and NATICK, Rick Lee, Waterbug Records, WBG 0016, (CD and Cassette) 7/18/95Natick was a languageNatick is a townNo one speaks the languageAll of them are goneThey lived here by the hundredsAnd grew upon the landAnd welcomed some white strangersAnd offerred us a handBut only their shadows remain.John Eliot, a preacherCame to see the onesWho sang and danced in worshipOf the the morning sunHe taught them trust and EnglishThey taught him of the timesWhen only air and spiritAbounded in these climesBut only their shadows remain.A language was inventedTo suit both families` needsTo preach a Christian gospelAnd speak to whispering reedsA language known as NatickWas spoken here by tonguesOf natives and of settlersA new world had begunBut only their shadows remainA generation later or twoThere came a warOf englishmen and indiansAnd racism and moreThen spilled upon the peopleWho had welcomed us beforeAnd had trusted reverend EliotBut now they are no moreOnly their shadows remain(repeat first verse)
