Golden Feather

Golden Feather - Robbie Robertson

I 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

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

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
