Lyrics

[Verse 1] I went to a wedding, I brought a song Folded up like a list of thanks at a praise-a-thon The bride was snow white, the groom was strong The trail was as endless as the day is long [Chorus] Some days are fairytales, some days belie Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing [Verse 2] It's not been proven hard to bring an ending's start And even easier to die from a broken heart Or was it blunt force trauma from the fireworks Someone is celebrating while another gets hurt? [Chorus] Some days are fairytales, some days belie Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing [Bridge] Still I see them in the night With their blood red wings alight While the rocket's red glare Gives proof through the night That something's not right Something's not right [Verse 3] In the book of Stephen there is no prophecy 'Cause there was no need for God in the way things came to be Some live by faith, some live by proof They don't meet up on a friendly road or live under the same roof [Chorus] Some days are fairytales, some days belie Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing Sing, sing, sing [Outro] Sing, sing And the birds fall hard like black rain Sing, sing Darken the earth with a portent's stain Sing, sing Beat like drums, they beat like wings Sing Are we looking? Are we listening? Sing, sing, sing Sing, sing, sing Sing, sing, sing
