Blackbird came and perched on the willow
Mama's head would not leave the pillow
Crying for the child she longed to hold
The world we knew was gone now forever
Small town talk turned back to the weather
As we burned to feel my sister's soul
Oh a winter long and cold
Had us in her fold
And stole my sister's soul
Empty chair a well with no wishes
Say a prayer clear all the dishes
Play outside cause mama needs her sleep
Skipping stones over the water
That gave so much in turn for a daughter
Whispering her secrets of the deep
Oh a winter long and cold
Had us in her fold
And stole my sister's soul
My childhood is trapped there
In that haunted place
I know I can't go back there
But I can't escape
Oh a winter long and cold
Had us in her fold
And stole my sister's soul
Oh it's my curse to know
The deep and biting cold
That stole my sister's soul
Stole my sister's soul
Stole my sister's soul
Stole my sister's soul
Stole my sister's soul
Blackbird came and perched on the willow
