Lately he can feel it 
Turning off inside his heart 
She's calling him from the car phone 
And she's falling apart 
Now he could call in her prescription 
And they will take it down off the shelf 
But he knows that he can't save her from herself no more
No more

And you can ride home in the country doctor 
And you might do the best that you can 
But who is gonna help the medicine man 
Who is gonna save him?

Now he always was a healer 
There was something in his eyes 
And his hand upon your head 
When fever started to rise 
And there's someone he lost long ago 
Now there's flowers on her grave 
And they say that it's still her 
That he's trying to save 
He's trying to save her 

And you can ride home in the country doctor 
And you might do the best that you can 
But who is gonna help the medicine man 
Who is gonna save the medicine man?
Who is gonna save him?

Who is gonna save him? 

Later on in the evening 
When the sun goes sinking down 
He goes out for a walk 
Along the sound 
And he thinks he can hear her 
Calling him away 
But he tells her he must wait 
Another day 
Wait another day
