Blackbirds Rise Lyrics by Victoria Williams

Musings of a Creek Dipper

0

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
