Lonesome River Band - Blackbirds & Crows lyrics

Eva was a fast thing, most everybody knew While other girls were runnin' wild, Eva flew Her life was the fast lane but it soon began to show So I begged her with me to go To a little home here in Idaho With the blackbirds and the crows One year we were happy and tried to keep our lives on track While I was lookin' to the future, Eva was lookin' back She said she missed the old life and she was truthful I suppose But the truth was she could never leave The truth was at nights I'd grieve if I had to let her go Blackbirds sat on the fence line Crows flew through the sky I whispered low into Eva's ear Eva your gonna die She's half a mile out, a quarter across Beneath those wheat field rows And no one knows who put her there But the blackbirds and crows Folks come by, we sit around And I tell them how she's gone Tell them how she packed her bags and wrecked our happy home Oh I tell them she's down in Atlanta, doing c**aine and God only knows But Eva's not gone, she's here with me Right here where she'll always be with the blackbirds and crows Blackbirds sat on the fence line Crows flew through the sky I whispered low into Eva's ear Eva your gonna die She's half a mile out, a quarter across Beneath those wheat field rows And no one knows who put her there But the blackbirds and crows
