Golden Feather
Golden Feather
Robbie Robertson
I think I'm going back to Shenandoah
she said that she'd meet me by the fork in the road
I jump start my old Ford
I'm heading for the pow-wow
follow red path that leads to you.
I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home.
Should I paint my face
should I pierce my skin
does this make me a pagan
sweating out my sins
we ate the sacred mushroom
and waded in the water
howling like coyotes
at the naked moon.
I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home.
In the autumn night
when there's no wind blowin'
I could hear the stars falling in the dark
when you find what's worth keeping
with a breath of kindness
blow the rest away.
I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home.
We recommend: Shades of Eternal Battlefields
Gazing at the autumn sky
Prays that christ will come and save her soul
Drifting out into the garden
Holding close to father's shame
Fighting back the bitter ages song
Oh annabell - When will you see
There's nothing left inside
At dawn we dream
Promises of love forever
Hand and hand into the fields
Curses prey upon a heart so young
Everything she's ever wanted
Clinging to his velvet lies
Anything to take away the pain
On and on into the season
Waiting for his serenade
Ghosts will dance for one last crimson kiss
