Medicine Man Lyrics by Barclay James Harvest, The

Medicine Man Lyrics

    Didn't anybody see his hand move faster
    Than the lightning in his eyes
    Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried
    And didn't anybody want to ask the calliope
    To call the tune
    The flying horses crooned but did not know
    The medicine man sits on the stage
    Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare
    The silver blade burns bright
    And tells us to beware
    Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images
    Of younger days
    The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play

    Round and round now we go
    Shout your name to the wind
    As it spins by your side
    Coloured lights echo as the sound slips on by
    Could that have been me?
