[ti:Blackbirds]
[ar:Gretchen Peters]
[al:Blackbirds]
[00:19.30] The blackbirds came at dusk and they roosted in the cane
[00:25.01] raised such a ruckus that it shook my windowpane
[00:31.84] And I’m covered up in dirt and I stink of kerosene
[00:38.56] and no matter what I do I can’t get clean
[00:44.62] last thing i remember was your footsteps in the hall
[00:55.22] whisky in your voice and a shotgun on the wall
[01:02.38] now there’s shadows in the shadows, there’s trouble in the cane
[01:08.79] and there’s things you do that you just can’t explain
[01:14.10] Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart
[01:22.11] ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
[01:28.26] And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
[01:35.68] Only the blackbirds and you
[01:44.27] come harvest in the cane fields the sky turns black with smoke
[01:52.91] so I took our father’s gun and a heavy piece of rope
[01:58.96] and I left you lying there like rotten fruit upon the ground
[02:05.56] and I lit a torch and I burned the whole thing down
[02:11.32] Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart
[02:19.46] ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
[02:25.22] And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
[02:32.28] Only the blackbirds and you
[02:40.10] our father was a farmer he planted fields of cane
[03:08.20] he planted seeds of evil and we harvested the shame
[03:15.11] Oh but I’m the last one standing there’s no one left to tell
[03:21.41] and when it’s my time I’ll see you both in hell
[03:27.76] Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart
[03:36.26] ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
[03:41.44] And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
[03:49.20] Only the blackbirds and you
[03:56.14] And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
[04:02.47] Only the blackbirds and you
