Golden Feather [Wednesday Roost-Blogging]

Golden Feather by Robbie Robertson

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
I 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
