Lyrics:

medicine tounge and a heavy hand

together made a fist

they put me down and i do not rise

and now as an old child

I'll hand it down

I'll hand it down

then blow around

see me blow around

just like dirty paper



I crossed my mind

ahead of us

just there where the trees give way

do forgive

do forgive I will forget your name

far be it from me

far be it from me to take care



by word of mouth

all young men do stagger

and all come to shambles by heart

we will see just as we believe no lie

time will tell us

we'll see his face and know why

did i cross your heart

behind my back just then

just then as time went marching by

I must push on

in prayer and take it by force

though you've said it

you say it better

with more conviction than I



medicine tounge and a heavy hand

together made a list

row on row

of cold and hardened hearts that wish

my weeds and flowers

would together both grow wild

from a distance

from a distance

they come up close to smile
