Marc Cohn — Medicine Man

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But 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? Tell me, who is gonna save him? Who is gonna save him? [Verse 3] 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 that he must wait Another day Wait another day
