lyrics

The sky opens for me
The earth swallows my feet
Blackbird coming down so mean
Bloodstain on the silent street

Well it’s nice to meet you
Strange enough to pass through
Knowledge of a violent deed
Windfall and the roots are weak

Time it only takes away
I give a little more each day
Distance on a crooked plane
Cities never learn my name

Winter day the cold beach
Covered in the air you breathe
Seagulls flying down so mean H
old on to the love I need

Someone had to be born today
Someone had to learn to walk away
Tell me do you hold the weight
Tell me do you wake up strange
One of these days

Summer day the cemetery
Standing in the weight under the tree
Time moved and the ground gave way
Her name with so many names

Well what can I bring you Everything I was
Everything I knew
Take off in the light of day
Something always left to say

Someone had to be born today
Someone had to learn to walk away
Tell me do you hold the weight of change
Tell me do you wake up feeling strange
One of these days
