Able to Sing Lyrics by Indigo Girls

Beauty Queen Sister

0

[Verse 1]
I went to a wedding, I brought a song
Folded up like a list of thanks at a praise-a-thon
The bride was snow white, the groom was strong
The trail was as endless as the day is long
[Chorus]
Some days are fairytales, some days belie
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing
[Verse 2]
It's not been proven hard to bring an ending's start
And even easier to die from a broken heart
Or was it blunt force trauma from the fireworks
Someone is celebrating while another gets hurt?
[Chorus]
Some days are fairytales, some days belie
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing
[Bridge]
Still I see them in the night
With their blood red wings alight
While the rocket's red glare
Gives proof through the night
That something's not right
Something's not right
[Verse 3]
In the book of Stephen there is no prophecy
'Cause there was no need for God in the way things came to be
Some live by faith, some live by proof
They don't meet up on a friendly road or live under the same roof
[Chorus]
Some days are fairytales, some days belie
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king
That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
[Outro]
Sing, sing
And the birds fall hard like black rain
Sing, sing
Darken the earth with a portent's stain
Sing, sing
Beat like drums, they beat like wings
Sing
Are we looking? Are we listening?
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
