The blackbirds came at dusk and they roosted in the cane |
| [00:25.01] |
raised such a ruckus that it shook my windowpane |
| [00:31.84] |
And I’m covered up in dirt and I stink of kerosene |
| [00:38.56] |
and no matter what I do I can’t get clean |
| [00:44.62] |
last thing i remember was your footsteps in the hall |
| [00:55.22] |
whisky in your voice and a shotgun on the wall |
| [01:02.38] |
now there’s shadows in the shadows, there’s trouble in the cane |
| [01:08.79] |
and there’s things you do that you just can’t explain |
| [01:14.10] |
Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart |
| [01:22.11] |
ungrateful and unlucky and untrue |
| [01:28.26] |
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go |
| [01:35.68] |
Only the blackbirds and you |
| [01:44.27] |
come harvest in the cane fields the sky turns black with smoke |
| [01:52.91] |
so I took our father’s gun and a heavy piece of rope |
| [01:58.96] |
and I left you lying there like rotten fruit upon the ground |
| [02:05.56] |
and I lit a torch and I burned the whole thing down |
| [02:11.32] |
Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart |
| [02:19.46] |
ungrateful and unlucky and untrue |
| [02:25.22] |
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go |
| [02:32.28] |
Only the blackbirds and you |
| [02:40.10] |
our father was a farmer he planted fields of cane |
| [03:08.20] |
he planted seeds of evil and we harvested the shame |
| [03:15.11] |
Oh but I’m the last one standing there’s no one left to tell |
| [03:21.41] |
and when it’s my time I’ll see you both in hell |
| [03:27.76] |
Uneasy lies the head – unfaithful is the heart |
| [03:36.26] |
ungrateful and unlucky and untrue |
| [03:41.44] |
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go |
| [03:49.20] |
Only the blackbirds and you |
| [03:56.14] |
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go |
| [04:02.47] |
Only the blackbirds and you |
