The Sparrow And The Medicine

When you mend the patches of my clothin'

You know every thread goes through my heart

Guessin' that the river's gonna dry up

Well, I said that's not the reason why we bard

Lookin' 'round the corner where I left you

Wonderin' whatever led me there

Knowin' that a quiet unconscious feeling

Could be bought to drown a memory anywhere

She said: ''I don't want your medicine

And I don't need the sparrow in my arm.''

When I'm covered by the thunder

I get rid of all your breath deep in my lungs

Splayed in the wind apart

And when I touch the ceiling on a spring day

Wishin' it could heed up every crow

So that they could lift me by my shoulders

Take me from this frozen lake and let you know

Just that I want to be your medicine

I want to feed the sparrow in your arm

When I'm covered by the thunder

I'll get rid of all the breath deep in our lungs

Splayed the wind apart

Hell I'm still standing 'round the corner where I left you

Diggin' up a quite sufficient track

Never know when you're behind that angle

With a tranquilizer gun in your sweet palm

Oh I want to be your medicine

I want to feed the sparrow in your arm

When we're covered by the thunder

We'd become just one and feel the lightning shard

Splayed the wind apart
