Golden Feather Songtext
von Robbie Robertson & The Red Road Ensemble

I think I′ll go on back to Shenandoah
She said that she'd meet me by the fork in the road
I jump start my one-eyed Ford
I′m heading for the pow-wow
I follow the 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 sin
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
And 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.

Golden feather
