Birds Flying Away
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god
But now the drumbirds come for me Oh now the drumbirds come for me Lord give me forgiveness
