Letra de Two Hungry Blackbirds
Lovers accustomed to tragedy See every kiss in the window across the street Breezes and blessings passing by, ooh-oohI'm in the shade of the dogwood tree Not the one where you told your name to me Two hungry blackbirds land nearby, ooh-oohIf 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, ooh-oohGave 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, ooh-oohIf 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 crying over me?I could hear kids in the yard next door Cats in a rush when the calendar fell down Wait by the shade-tree one more year, ooh-oohPoetry tempered with tragedy Tempted and pulled when you cry upon my sleeve Two flocks of blackbirds meet the air, ooh-oohIf 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?
