The Healer

from High Desert Hymns by Jake Shane

/

lyrics

I went to a healer
I said healer do your best
He said I see nothing wrong with you
It must be in your head
I said oh, oh yes, yes she is

Well let me see what I can do
Tell me what’d she do to you
Did she sing for you beneath the moon
Did she tell you everything she knew
About the perfect forms, the incantations
The birth and death of ancient nations
The last great doubt, the first temptation
Did she show you to her bed
I said oh, oh yes, yes she did

And did she promise you that she’d reveal
The secrets of the seven seals
The theory that unifies the fields
The truth behind that crossroads deal
Did she give you fire, roll the wheel
Did she blind your eyes but let you feel
Did she speak to you of what is real
As she placed your hands upon her chest
Oh yes, yes she did, yes she did

Did she recite the wisdom of the holy pages
Did she take the positions of the sutras’ sages
Did she give you the map
Did she number your days
Did she teach you all the mysterious ways
Of the pyramids and the UFOs
Gravity waves and quantum particles
How the center will fold and the folds unfold
Did she lie with you on the bed
Oh yes, yes she did, yes she did

Tell me then, the healer said
Would you kindly take me to her bed
I’d love to know just what she said
I’m dying here you know
I said oh, oh no, oh no no

And so I lost the healer too
And the healer lost himself to you
I should’ve known that’s what he’d do
You know I was once a healer too
