Back To Son Of An Engineer


Medicine Bow

Words and music by Mike Scott & Anthony Thistlewaite

There's a black wind blowing
A typhoon on the rise
Pummeling rain
Murderous skies
I'm gonna take my boots
I'm gonna wear my coat
I'm gonna find my scarf,
Wrap it around my throat

And you can run with me
Through the driving snow
We'll move on up to
Medicine Bow

I spent too long
I'm just stuck on the shore
There's a man in my head
And he isn't me anymore
I'm gonna find me a ship
Stowaway 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'll move on up to
Medicine Bow

You can change my colours
Cancel my things
Stop my squawking
Grow some wings...

Well I will not sleep
And I will not rest
I'm will put my soul
And my will to the test
I'm gonna talk about teller
I'm gonna tell my feet
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
Woah whoah woah
Medicine Bow
