Marc Cohn - Medicine Man lyrics

rate me

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
