medicine bow lyrics

There's a black wind blowing
A typhoon on the rise
Pummeling rain
Murderous skies

I'm gonna take my books
I'm gonna wear my coat
I'm gonna find my scarf
Wrap it around my throat

And you can come with me
Through the driving snow
We're gonna ride on up to
Medicine bow

Well, I spent too long
Just stuck on the shore
There's a man in my head
But he isn't me anymore

I'm gonna find me a ship
Stow away on a boat
I'm gonna burn all the words
And letters and cards that I ever wrote

And you can sail with me
Where the current flows
We're gonna move on up to
Medicine bow

I'm gonna change my colors
Cancel my things
Stop my squawking
Grow some wings

Well, I will not sleep
And I will not rest
I will put my soul
And my will to the test

I'm gonna tug at my tether
I'm gonna tear at my lead
I'm gonna test my knowledge
In the field of deeds

And you can run with me
Fast as we can go
Over the hill to
Medicine bow

Medicine bow
Medicine bow
Medicine bow
