Medicine Man |
Lately he can feel it |
Turning off inside his heart |
She’s calling him from the car phone |
And she’s falling apart |
Now he could call in her prescription |
And they will take it down off the shelf |
But he knows that he can’t save her from herself no more |
No more |
And you can ride home in the country doctor |
And you might do the best that you can |
But who is gonna help the medicine man |
Who is gonna save him? |
Now he always was a healer |
There was something in his eyes |
And his hand upon your head |
When fever started to rise |
And there’s someone he lost long ago |
Now there’s flowers on her grave |
And they say that it’s still her |
That he’s trying to save |
He’s trying to save her |
And you can ride home in the country doctor |
And you might do the best that you can |
But who is gonna help the medicine man |
Who is gonna save the medicine man? |
Who is gonna save him? |
Who is gonna save him? |
Later on in the evening |
When the sun goes sinking down |
He goes out for a walk |
Along the sound |
And he thinks he can hear her |
Calling him away |
But he tells her he must wait |
Another day |
Wait another day |
