I can taste the hollow as I wake
The air hangs heavy, my heart lives in a cage
An old house creaks with our agony and disdain
our souls took a beating from too much rain

His shadow haunts in dreamy dark light
Lost in dementias quiet  but detrimental fight

The songs are inside me but I'm hanging by a fragile thread
I now sing lullabies for the living and the dead
Heartbreak echoes through every room
In a house decaying toward its tomb

Paulie, my medicine man, never think you don't help
You were the one shooting star I could wish upon
the soul that wouldn't sell
the healing drum circle
inside of me
the Emerald
Thank you
Beautiful Medicine Man
