Two Hungry Blackbirds |
| Lovers accustomed to tragedy |
| See every kiss in the window across the street |
| Breezes and blessings passing by, ah ooh-oh |
| I’m in the shade of the dogwood tree |
| Not the one where you told your name to me Two hungry blackbirds land near by, ah ooh-oh |
| If I could be over you when the sky starts falling |
| Would you be happy under me? |
| If I could be under you if the earth was burning |
| Could you be trusted over me? |
| Spoke to a mother whose baby drowned |
| Gave me advice, or a rumor she once heard: |
| «Heaven's a distance, not a place,» ah ooh-oh |
| Gave her an ear from the corn we grew |
| You were away but she gave her thanks to you |
| That was a year ago come May, ah ooh-oh |
| If I could be over you when the sky starts falling |
| Would you be smothered under me? |
| If I could be under you if the earth was burning |
| Would you be cryin' over me? |
| I could hear kids in the yard next door |
| Cats in the brush when the calendar fell down |
| Wait by the shade-tree one more year, ah ooh-oh |
| Poetry tempered with tragedy |
| Tempted and pulled when you cry upon my sleeve |
| Two flocks of blackbirds meet the air |
