Blackbirds Rise

Graveyard musty and cold

Smells of autumn, smells of mold

Pick up truckload full of bones

There to play a few songs to one who's gone

There there child don't you cry

Ain't it good to see a field of blackbirds rise

Some flew east and some flew west

You come flying after the rest, darling always

After everything we've read and seen

Somebody leave but I'll stay

Calling she's calling

From another day

Calling she's calling

Can't you come over here little girl

Turn over my grave

Shoo fly don't bother me

Shoo fly don't bother me

Some flew east and some flew west

You come flying after the rest, darling always

After everything we've read and seen

Somebody leave but I'll stay

The sun goes down across the land

Mother earth meets father time and takes his hand

And one is all, all is one again

Can we be good friends, can we be good

Can we be, can we, can

If you have friends in glory land

Who left because of pain

Thank God up there they'll die no more

They'll suffer not again
