Lyrics

"Redwing Blackbird"

Well the redwing blackbird he has a song
seagull & butterfly they danced on
The black crow talks with the bright morning sun
& sage quietly whispers on a wind full day...

& the wind will shovel the leaves & bend the trees
may your roots grow ever deeper someday will see
That the wounds of the spirit will leave no scar
& the clay of my shape walks in staggered beauty on...on...on...
walk on...

i heard say the eighth most deadliest sin
is a unlived life full of sorrow
So take ye your shelter at the hearth of your soul
& see behind the facade of this ever fading dream... dream... dream...

While the poet sites his verse & he carries on
the politician marches to the dollar
& the lover he will make different choices when he’s free
and all pilgrims walk their lonely journeys home... home... home...
walk on home pilgrim...

The dragon flies his wings with grace & ease
all fault lines will one day a open
& the redwing blackbird he flies on
& you know you ain’t never traveled alone... lone...lone
you know you ain’t never traveled alone...
