Blackbirds Rise Lyrics


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 goneThere there child don't you cry
Ain't it good to see a field of blackbirds riseSome 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 stayCalling 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 meSome 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 stayThe 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, canIf 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Victoria Williams (born December 23, 1958) is a singer/songwriter, originally from Shreveport, Louisiana but for the length of her career a resident of Southern California. Many of her songs detail the events, characters and sensations of a small-town or rural Southern upbringing ("Main Road," "Crazy Mary," "Polish Those Shoes"), and she also finds inspiration in nature ("Century Plant," "Weeds," "Why Look at the Moon"), everyday objects ("Shoes," "Frying Pan") and the unseen ("Holy Spirit"). Wonder, delight and awe are the primary moods of her music.
