Albatross Lyrics by Carrie Elkin

The Penny Collector

2017

[Verse]
Oh cicada gonna make make me scream
It's like a hurricane pissing on a summer's breeze
Been raining so hard I can barely breathe
Blame it god
And the stormy sea
[Verse]
Albatross gonna make me sing
With my mother's voice and my father's wings
I'll carry the burden of a thousand things
Blame it god
And the unforeseen
[Verse]
Oh dear devil gonna make me lie
In a field of grass with a fire so high
Where you can't forgive what you can't survive
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
[Bridge]
And oh my child
Come and rest your weary head
You must know the time will come
When it all comes round again
It's hard to tell
When it's all just been too much
We're resilient though i guess
Time will do the rest
[Verse]
Sleep oh sleep gonna make me dream
When you catch a little something in the in-between
Where the moon and the sun dance endlessly
Blame it on god
And the days first ring
[Outro]
Albatross gonna make me sing
With my mother's voice and my father's wings
I'll carry the burden of a thousand things
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
