Medicine Boy – Lashes lyrics
Tonight my mind is going travelling
Back in time just a couple of years
To a girl with sleeves unravelling
Lightning bolts hanging from ears
Told me she lives in the ashes
Where the mountainside burns slow
And with the flames final lashes
She’d pick up all her things and go
For days on end the fire ravaged
As I lay there in her arms
Dissected secrets of the universe
She told me how to keep from harm
Shed all of your clothes
Step into the water alone
Feel the weight disappear from your bones
Drift above while below
The tide carries you home
So the breath you stubbornly hold
Can finally let go
When the sky finally cracked open
Weeping the wild pyre clean
Sure as the sun sets in mourning
She was nowhere to be seen
If by chance one day you meet her
Know your time it will be brief
Forever echoes in your head now
Of the words she spoke so sweet
Shed all of your clothes
Step into the water alone
Feel the weight disappear from your bones
Drift above while below
The tide carries you home
So the breath you stubbornly hold
Can finally let go
Back in time just a couple of years
To a girl with sleeves unravelling
Lightning bolts hanging from ears
Told me she lives in the ashes
Where the mountainside burns slow
And with the flames final lashes
She’d pick up all her things and go
For days on end the fire ravaged
As I lay there in her arms
Dissected secrets of the universe
She told me how to keep from harm
Shed all of your clothes
Step into the water alone
Feel the weight disappear from your bones
Drift above while below
The tide carries you home
So the breath you stubbornly hold
Can finally let go
When the sky finally cracked open
Weeping the wild pyre clean
Sure as the sun sets in mourning
She was nowhere to be seen
If by chance one day you meet her
Know your time it will be brief
Forever echoes in your head now
Of the words she spoke so sweet
Shed all of your clothes
Step into the water alone
Feel the weight disappear from your bones
Drift above while below
The tide carries you home
So the breath you stubbornly hold
Can finally let go
