Birds Flying Away
Lyrics
I left my country when I was nineteen 1925
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

On the day she married me dear God, dear God
Songwriter: Mason Jennings
Forgive me now of the weight I bear
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
And oh when I saw her darkness fled from me
Coming down like we were dying dear God
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast

Don't keep me on the run dear God, dear god
Coming up under you like a lion
I remember climbing up those shoulders
I remember climbing up those shoulders
But now the drum birds come for me
Lord give me forgiveness for all that I've done
I left my country when I was nineteen 1925
Oh now the drum birds come for me
Met a woman who became my life
Coming down like we were dying dear God
Coming up under you like a lion
