Victoria Williams - Blackbirds Rise lyrics

A graveyard musty and cold Smells of springtime Smells of mold Pick up a 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 CHORUS: Some flew east some flew west Flying away After everything we've read and seen Some may 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 REPEAT CHORUS As the sun goes down Across the land Mother earth meets father time And takes his hand One is all and 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
