Medicine Man Lyrics - Marc Cohn

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 

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? 

Who, who? 

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 

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? 

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
