lyrics

First Bird To Sing

Sleep, brother close your eyes
The flesh wears out long before the spirit dies
What did your young life bring?
It brought laughter in the night
And then
The first bird to sing

Brother, forgot to close the door
Was it carelessness or hope, we’ll never know for sure
Now harsh words wound
And salt tears sting
But in my heart he’ll always be
The First Bird to Sing

Some people have some things that they will never show
To others who they’ve come to think
Just do not care to know
I have memories of you
That I will not let go
I may soon be out of debt
But I will ever owe

Mother put up a good good fight
She kept the wolves from the door
And held her babies tight
He was a would-be villain or a would-be king
But in my heart he’ll always be
The first bird to sing
