Medicine Man
Barclay James Harvest
Didn't anybody see
His hand move faster than the lightning in his eyes
Oh what a cold surprise
The flying horses cried
And didn't anybody
Want to ask the calliope to call the tune
The flying horses crooned
But did not know
The medicine man sits on the stage
Eats fire and water earth and air while we all stare
The silver blade burns bright
And tells us to beware
Of mirrored passages
That throw a thousand images of younger days
The wheel spins slower
As it calls us back to play
Round and round now we go
Shout your name to the wind
As it spins by your side
Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
Could that have been me?
Round and round now we go
Shout your name to the wind
As it spins by your side
Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
Could that have been me?
