Fearsome black birds crying high, But there'll be no warning when I die. Some lonesome sparrow saying don't you know that you're gone forever when you go Oh, and i hear them calling Through my window every morning Your life dear boy means nothing Say the birds, The birds, the birds interlude Then by the willow I did see A swarm of buzzing honey bees "Good morning honey bees" I cried But to me they offered no reply And that fearsome black bird answered instead "Boy there's now a price put on your head" Oh, and I hear 'em them calling From my window every morning "Your life, dear boy, means nothing" Say the birds, the birds, the birds. interlude No use hiding in the water. No use hiding in the square. Know those eyes are looking for you everywhere. Well you'll be glad my love to hear, One morning they did all disappear. Tired of all the summer rain, they made their nest inside my brain. But don't worry darling, pay it no mind true friends like these are hard to find. Now I no longer hear 'em calling From my window every morning And my life, at last means something Say the birds, the birds, the birds. interlude
