Meadowlark

Lyrics

Darkness sparkles the edge of dawn Like a heart that's turned stone cold The ones I love are dead and gone And I am growing old Oh, my heart is whispering, "Go back north" To the north I truly love I'd follow the geese, but they're heading south So I'll follow the mourning dove When I get there, I'll build a fire And stare into the flames For every single spark that flies I'll remember a loved one's name When spring surrounds the winter ground And the ice falls from the nest When winter sings with a voice of spring I'll be heading for the west I have live and I have died A thousand of your deaths I've partaken a thousand times The sweetness of your breath I have held you in my eyes With my hands cupped 'neath your breasts Shall I follow the meadowlark And lay me down to rest? And lay me down to rest? I will not follow the meadowlark I'll follow the mourning dove I'll prove my wings both strong and true Till I found the one I love I shan´t forsake the meadowlark She did not forsake me To the meadowlark godspeed To the meadowlark godspeed Ah, the eagle got us in the air And the buzzard picked our bones The meadowlark sang us songs The mourning dove took us home Darkness sparkles the edge of dawn Like a heart that's turned stone cold The ones I love are dead and gone And I am growing old Oh, my heart is whispering, "Go back north" To the north I truly love I'd follow the geese, but they're heading south So I'll follow the mourning dove I'll follow the mourning dove
