And Then The Birds Came Lyrics by Carrie Elkin

The Penny Collector

2017

It was just a month ago
When my body failed me
My body failed me
Then I received a phone call
From my daddy
His body failed
Him
Too
What are we to do?
It was like the sky fell
All around us
All around us
And a billion stars
They lost their brightness
We lost our brightness
It was so dark
It was so
Dark
It was like the candle
It burned from both ends
I tried to stop it
Then
It lit my chest up
I poured my heart out
I felt so much love
And then the birds came
They took my dad away
It was so quiet
Then
The world just came alive
My mama came alive
My brother came alive
That's how my daddy lived
The birds they wanted him
They knew he'd help them fly
