John Lebleu's Ghost Dance Medicine Shirt

When she's moving out on Christmas Eve, just before the kids come home
Life's just too much to believe, you cry till you laugh and laugh till you moan
It's a patchwork quilt, like some house that you built, of stuff blowing by in the storm

It's like bits of broken glass, diamonds in the dirt, sometimes it gets sad, sometimes it just hurts
So many different things, falling stars, and angel's wings

It's like you're ridin' on your favorite horse, with the breeze blowing in your hair
It's all sun and mountaintops, forever and without a care
Then some twitch, makes him pitch, and you're flying through the air

Then you see the bits of broken glass, like diamonds in the dirt, sometimes things get bad, sometimes it just hurts,
So many different things, falling hard, broken wings

Nights full of music, magic sound, the best medicine he's ever found
Days see him walkin' the streets of our town, stalkin' this sacred ground

There's struggle and there's strife, in the stories painted on those sleeves
Ridin' the whirlwind of life, spinning through the joy and grief
There's fringe on the leather, fleece for the weather, and the moon and stars worked in with beads

Like bits of broken glass, diamonds in the dirt, when it's so good that it's bad, so beautiful it hurts
So many different things, falling stars, and eagle's wings
