Golden Feather

I think I'll go on back to Shenandoah

She said that she'd meet me by the fork in the road

I jump start my one-eyed Ford

I'm heading for the pow-wow

I follow the 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 sin

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.

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.
